That’s fine, but you can pile up the shavings in a well-drained area and allow them to slowly cold-compost with the chicken manure rather than unnecessarily putting it all into the air. If you don’t garden, others would probably be willing to take advantage of the riches your birds produce. Put a card up in the grocery store, hardware store, etc. I know gardeners who would be delighted to pick up your freshly removed litter and compost it themselves.
I do compost into my garden as well, but I like to burn because I selfishly love bonfires. Pine bedding makes a great starter for a bonfire.
