We lost several trees during the Crazy Washington State weather this past Fall/Winter. Last weekend we rented a woodchipper and chipped it all up, now I'm left with two massive piles of "mulch". It's a variety of Pine trees, A strange out of control tree that had big leaves that were shiny, I never got the name of this tree, Trimmings off a birch (I think) Tree, and a couple others. So in the mix is wood, leaves, dirt - all earth materials. I'm not sure if there's anything poisonus in this that the chickens can't have. It looks fun tho to make a heaping pile in the middle of the run for entertainment!!
And a second question... I have an area that I want to make into a garden, since chickens are awesome cultivators (the coop run dirt has never been flufflier!) Is there a CHEAP way to build a day time run to put the chickens in while i'm around so they can have fun, then I can put them back into their coop after I leave the premises? I can't let them free roam, we have WAYYY to many dogs not leashed in our neighborhood. The price of living in the rural area.
Thanks for any tips given in advance!!
