Chirping
I’m considering charring the skids to help preserve them. I am planning on elevating the coop a couple feet off the ground, so the skids wouldn’t be in ground contact anyway. But the humidity and shade makes me feel like charring the pine skids would be wise (and a fun experiment).
Question is, do you all think the chickens would eat the charred wood? Im sure they will try some, and I’m not worried about that. More concerned with them eating a ridiculous amount for 2 reasons:
1. Who knows what a bunch of charred wood would do inside a chicken
2. The charred wood is what is supposed to be protecting the skids
What are your opinions?
