Made from virgin hardwood, these robust wood chips are clean, 100% natural and highly absorbent — absorbing more moisture than other mulches to keep your run drier underfoot. Chip size is approximately 4–32mm, making them too large to be easily scattered or wasted. Each 70-litre bag provides generous coverage and lasts approximately six months before replacement is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirgin hardwood chips — clean, natural and environmentally friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly absorbent — absorbs more moisture than other mulches for a drier run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust 4–32mm chip size — won’t easily break down in the run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces mud, puddles and unpleasant smells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-lasting — lasts approximately 6 months before replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile — also suitable for pathways, borders, gardens and play areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70-litre bag with free P\u0026amp;P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpread Chicken Chips approximately 5–10cm deep in the run or pen, ideally on top of fixed netting to prevent hens scratching through to bare soil. Turn the chippings over once a month to refresh the surface and aid drainage. Replace with a new covering approximately every 6 months, or sooner if heavily soiled. Used chippings can be composted or used as garden mulch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAre Warma Chicken Chips safe for hens?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — Chicken Chips are made from virgin hardwood with no treatments, chemicals or additives, making them safe for use in chicken runs and poultry pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow deep should I lay the chips?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA depth of 5–10cm is recommended for best performance.
