Thanks for reminding me, aart. I surely have had them do that too! When we rake up the yard, we get lots of little twigs, so that should help.
I sure have learned a lot from your posts. Thanks again.

Oh good! I now have another use for my piles and piles (and piles and more piles...) of oak leaves. I think the chickens will love to scratch through them. I will love to have them a bit more shredded for using as mulch in the spring.
