Uses for Douglas Fir branches?

[The ChickenKing]

So, today we got our christmas tree, and kept some of the chopped branches just in case, is there anything I can use them for? Food? Bedding? Entertainment? All suggestions are welcome!

Roosts and entertainment, here. I put the whole tree in after we're done with it, leaning against a corner of the run. It's shelter, roosts, and gives the flock something to talk about for few days. If you've got sturdy enough branches, see where you can prop them in the fence or wherever, usually in a corner, and make a perch or roost. Mine never eat the needles and they're not really long enough to use for bedding.
