Hints & Tips:
For getting the best out of your Woodchip see Using Hardwood Woodchip in your Chicken Run. For advice on maintenance of Hardwood Woodchip watch our video Changing your Hardwood Woodchip.
If ordering large quantities of woodchips to store for later use (very economical if you have the space to store them), then we do advise making sure there are air holes in the stored bags to allow moisture to escape and prevent sweating inside the plastic bags, which can produce (harmless) moulds.
Woodchip is often damp when bagged so the weight of the bag will vary (sometimes by up to 5kg), however, the bags are 50 litre bags so the volume in the bags is always the same no matter how wet.
Flyte so Fancy Woodchips have a nominal 10-40mm particle size and conforms to British standard BS:EN1177:2008. They do not contain recycled wood waste or bark mulch.
Hardwood Woodchips are produced from sustainably harvested British forests. FSC Certificate No CU-COC-806457. The product shall have been tested in accordance with the requirements of BS4790:1987 for fire resistance and be classified as having low potential to burn.
These Handy Bags weigh approx 15-20kg, depending on the moisture content of woodchips at the time of bagging i.e. the seasonal variations. By volume approx. 50 Litres.
Estimate one sack will cover approx 10 sq ft with a 2-3in depth (To clarify: 10 sq feet is an area of 10ft by 1ft or 1metre by 1metre).To calculate your run area:- length times width divided by 10 equals the number of bags you need. So a 9ft x 9ft run would need 8 bags (9 x 9 = 81, divide by 10 = 8).
Delivery of Woodchip is via Palletline Transport company and the carriage starts at £48 e.g. to most postcodes in mainland England, depending on the total weight of your order - for other areas just add to the basket, select the destination postcode and delivery will be shown.
Or, you can collect from us here in Dorset and save on carriage. Call 01300 345229 to check on stock levels before making a journey.
Please allow up to 7 working days for delivery during busy times. Pallet delivery does require access for a small lorry with a rear tail-lift (we can send in boxes by courier if access is a problem, just let us know). See Delivery Information.
The driver will place the pallet in a convenient place on your property for you to unpack as you wish (the driver will not unpack the pallet for you or remove it). A signature on delivery is preferable but if you are happy for the pallet to be left safely please mention this when ordering.

Will be buying these wood chips when our coop needs a refresh from now on.
Delivery was excellent, no split bags, not wet.
Quality, fresh wood chippings! Would definitely recommend!
Ordered hardwood chippings in order to give my run an annual spring refresh. Service always good with flytesofancy, simple to order on website , they update you all the way on delivery. Delivery man very helpful at placing the pallet where we needed for access. Good quality hardwood that lasts. Chickens area all lovely for the spring !
Made up with how the run looks with the new hardwood wood chip, highly recommended.
We got 10 bags used 8 so we’ve got 2 spare
Excellent quality woodchip in manageable sized bags. My chickens are very happy! I ordered a pallet of 10, delivery was simple and fast, the delivery driver was friendly and helpful. Great communication and service all round.
Twice I have asked if we can have a slightly random order or tweak something, Flyte So Fancy have always been so helpful. Thank you!
Great quality chips. Peace of mind, knowing no harmful treatment used. Hygienic, keeping my inside and outside run dry and looking good! Lovely surface for the chooks to walk on and dig in. Would not buy from anywhere else.
Good value and delivered to correct t address, but a day earlier than we were told!
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for leaving us a review, i am glad to hear that you are happy with the product.
Apologies that you recieved your order a day earlier than scheduled, the pallet company we use for our deliveries will sometimes push pallets through a day earlier if they have the capacity to do so.😊 But our apologies if this caused you any inconvinience.

I appreciated the videos recommending best way to maintain and disinfect existing chips and then do an annual or every 6 month clean. Made the experience of buying the chips feel more part of a community.
Wonderful service as always from Flyte so Fancy. Very fast delivery and very helpful and friendly delivery man. The woodchip is great and the chickens are very happy!
I was very pleased with, infact, just had second delivery two years later. It lasts a long time and although the ten bags arrived in three deliveries Flyte of fancy were very helpful as I thought some bags had gone astray but they soon put my mind at rest.
We are pleased with the chippings and the delivery was excellent. Thank you.
A good and long-lasting product providing effective cover for poultry runs.
When it comes to replacing the woodchips in the chicken run this is the only choice for me. They are the best quality and last for ages. It’s a false economy to use cheaper ones as they need replacing too often. My girls love scratching around in them and they are easy to keep clean. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Does the job well and pleased I was able to collect, saving a lot in delivery charges. Chickens very happy and dry! Very efficient and friendly company.
I have always used these chips since getting my chickens 2 years ago..I love the smell of them as do my chicken always foraging in them...They keep the run clean and wouldn't use anything else...

Hardwood Woodchip for Poultry Runs - 10 Bags
All perfect - chickens love it and their run now looks fresh and fabulous!
Excellent company for all poultry needs..
Great wooden chips that last - I used others they disappear
Very pleased with the woodchip, covered well and looks good. The bantams are ver happy with it too. Delivery actually a day earlier than originally notified and was on time and helpful.
Great products and great service again. We’ve ordered pallets of wood chip a few times and always got it delivered on the days we wanted. Ordered a few times and it’s always good quality. Makes the run easier to clean. We deep litter the run and the chickens are always turning it over, and we keep coming back for more when it’s worn down and needs topping up
The delivery was exactly as promised. The delivery man was really pleasant and helpful as well. The hardwood chips are now doing their job as the surface for our brand new hen house (our old hen house was falling apart after several years of sterling service. Excellent and beautifully scented hardwood chips
They are always so helpful and generous with their time, giving helpful advice. Excellent for the enclosed hen pen.
This is a small, local firm making all their materials on site. The quality is outstanding, as is the service. We ordered from them after visiting to look at the chicken coops and were so impressed. When one item was missing on the pallet prior to delivery, it was replaced within 24 hours. Absolutely superb. Good quality wood chip for the girls to scratch around in.
I've used them before and was not disappointed then nor have I been this time. Polite, efficient, high quality doing what they say on the tin! I'm not disappointed - thanks.
Always a pleasure to order from this company. You have to order more than you think to get decent coverage. Looks lovely when you first put it down. After a few weeks it starts to look unsightly. I regularly hose it down to wash off the poo, but due to poor draining soil underneath, I end up with a yucky watery mess.
staff at the end of the telephone were so helpful. I was indecisive about the quantities of goods i wanted to ensure the delivery costs were not uneconomical. the person on the phone was very patient and helpful. this is an excellent product for the run and easily cleaned with a wash down with water. Chickens love scratching around it so it keeps them occupied.
