Walnut leaves

[akovia]

Harvey Usery promotes using oak leaves in the run for the chix to work on over winter. We don't have oaks but do have a large English Walnut which drops mountains of leaves. Has anyone used walnut leaves for their run and are there any health issues that we should consider? Thanks.

They would work till they break up. I never rake mine up, the mower does a good job chopping them up. The oak leaves don't chop as well. So they would probably hold up better to the chickens scratchings.
