Decorative Straw Bales

[Addiena]

Hi,

I bought a couple straw bales from Walmart and put it in the run. I now see a note on the package that says not for human or animal consumption. Is it ok for chickens to have in the run?

Likely not.

I'd not...who knows what they spray on those things.
Can you not get real straw bales from a farm store or feed mill?

I did get some from Tractor Supply. Thanks for the help!
