Could you suggest what kind of "finer dry plant matter"?

Straw, finer wood chips, dry leaves, ...

Some people have locally-available things like pine straw, rice hulls, etc.

I did:

along with other finer dry plant matter, like a bit of straw and a bit of those pine shavings.

Try dry pine needles - you get a nice aroma and the chickens get something fun to dig through. I have a friend whose driveway is lined with massive white pines. Any time I visit, I bring home a bag of pineneedles for my run. If it's mixed with other leaves & such, all the better ... pre-started compost!
