So where do you guys get the wood chips for your coops

 

[brooster]

i get mine at tsc or the grain elevator.

 

[digginchicks]

are they free where you get them because i just go to this wood place of some sort and fill the back of the truck up and that is that. I dont know what kind of wood I'm getting or anything liek that so this has kind of got me worried

I buy mine at walmart. Pine shavings 5.5 for around $5
It goes along ways as it is compacted into a block. I was surprised the first time I opened one up and it covered my coop floor in about 3 inches deep of shavings.
