Hardwood woodchips though, will just sit on top of the ground and can easily withstand all weathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though it is a 'hardwood', it is still soft enough for the birds and best replicates the surfaces of their ancestral roots from the jungle. We have found this woodchip is an absolutely perfect surface for chicken runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHints \u0026amp; Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor getting the best out of your Woodchip see \u003cspan style=\"color: #2e9e7b;\"\u003eUsing Hardwood Woodchip in your Chicken Run\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWoodchip 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 \u003cstrong\u003ealways the same\u003c\/strong\u003e no matter how wet.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf ordering large quantities of woodchip 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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flyte so Fancy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48004329799829,"sku":"vnp1789503822816","price":14.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/7790\/1461\/files\/hardwood-woodchip-for-poultry-runs_1.webp?v=1789503828","url":"https:\/\/denimvibeoutfit.shop\/products\/hardwood-woodchip-for-poultry-runs","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
