I've got pine wood chips in the chicken run, and would like to add some other bedding to help with composting and the smell. Would green hay be appropriate?

Hay is very likely to mold....and would be a 'green' in the composting world.I've got pine wood chips in the chicken run, and would like to add some other bedding to help with composting and the smell. Would green hay be appropriate?
The thinner wood chips from TSC. We were going to get a load of course pine chips for around the runs, and may try it in the run. We notice odors mostly after it rains. The runs are covered, but blowing wind goes where it wants.Hay is very likely to mold....and would be a 'green' in the composting world.
Are you using the thinner wood shavings or coarser pine chips now?
...and are having trouble with odors?
Coarse wood chippings, like from a tree trimmer, are the way to go.The thinner wood chips from TSC. We were going to get a load of course pine chips for around the runs, and may try it in the run. We notice odors mostly after it rains. The runs are covered, but blowing wind goes where it wants.
