Maintenance of your Chicken Run - How to get the best out of Hardwood Woodchip
In the Ask Phill No25 Video ... Phill asks Rob the Gardener about looking after the Woodchip in a Chicken Run, how often to change it and the easiest way to keep it clean.
- Woodchip provides a soft, natural, surface for chickens to walk on and scratch in which will help prevent foot injuries.
- It allows water to drain through into the ground thereby keeping the surface dry and mud-free.
- Keeps the birds entertained by encouraging their natural instincts to scratch the ground looking for bugs.
- Easy to maintain with a simple monthly hygiene routine to keep it bacteria-free. See Coop & Run Sanitising Powder.
- A complete change and refresh of the Woodchip may only be needed once a year. Make sure it is a screened, Sustainable and Certified, Play-grade, Hardwood Woodchip without bark.
