I have scoured this sight reading tons of ideas on litter options for coops. As most of us do I too try and come up with cost effective means of caring for my chicks. My thought was I have huge pine trees around my yard so tons of pine straw!!! I usually just burn it along with limbs and what not. Been thinking about renting a chipper to run the pine straw thru and attempt to use that for litter in the coop. Has anyone tried this in the past if so was it worth the effort??? I intend on using a poop hammock or slide of some design under the roosts. I intend on composting as well. Have never attempted or seen anyone talking about the use of pine straw. Any thoughts on this idea??? Thanks
