20 Bag Deal – Hardwood Chips for Chicken Runs (20 x 70L Bags)

Looking for large-scale, long-lasting poultry bedding? Our 20 Bag Deal of Hardwood Chicken Chips offers exceptional value and performance for those managing multiple coops, large chicken runs, or smallholding poultry operations.

This bulk bundle includes 20 x 70-litre bags of premium virgin hardwood chips, providing a total of 1,400 litres of clean, robust, and highly absorbent bedding. These hardwood chips for chicken runs are specially sized between 4mm and 39mm to create a stable, well-draining and hygienic surface for poultry.

Ideal for use throughout the year, these hardwood chips are naturally long-lasting, breaking down much slower than bark or mulch. They offer excellent moisture absorption, helping to keep your birds’ feet dry and reducing mud, smells, and bacteria build-up in wet conditions.

This commercial-scale option is ideal for poultry keepers who want consistent, cost-effective ground cover across multiple pens or large outdoor runs – with enough stock to last several months or more.
