Twin Bag Deal – Hardwood Chips for Chicken Runs (2 x 70L Bags)

Give your poultry run a reliable, long-lasting foundation with our Twin Bag Deal of Hardwood Chicken Chips – offering excellent value while keeping your chickens dry, clean and comfortable.

Each bag contains 70 litres of high-quality, 100% virgin hardwood chips, making this twin pack ideal for covering larger runs or refreshing an existing layer of bedding. These hardwood chips for chicken runs are carefully sized between 4–39mm to create a sturdy and well-drained surface that resists breakdown far longer than softwood or bark mulches.

Designed specifically with poultry health and hygiene in mind, these hardwood chips naturally absorb moisture, suppress smells and help control muddy areas during wet weather. The chunky texture also allows air to flow more freely through the surface, reducing compaction and making the chips easier to turn and maintain.

This bundle offers a cost-effective and practical solution for poultry owners who need reliable bedding over a larger area — or simply want to stock up for longer-term use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in the Twin Bag Deal?
This bundle includes two 70-litre bags of premium virgin hardwood chips, ideal for larger chicken runs or for long-term use.

Why choose hardwood chips for chicken runs instead of bark or mulch?
Hardwood chips are far more durable and provide superior drainage. Unlike bark, they don’t break down as quickly or become slippery or soggy in wet conditions, making them safer and more hygienic for chickens.

How long will the twin pack last?
In most conditions, the chips will last around six months before you need to top them up. The twin pack gives you enough to either cover a larger space or reserve a second bag for future use.

Are these chips safe for poultry?
Yes. Our chips are made from natural, untreated hardwood and contain no chemical additives. They’re safe for chickens, ducks and other outdoor birds.

Do I need to clean or treat the chips?
No treatment is needed. Just turn them over once a month to aerate the bedding and discourage bacteria build-up. Replace or top up as needed when wear or weather starts to affect performance.

Can I use these chips elsewhere in the garden?
Yes, they are also suitable for garden pathways, borders, and play areas. Their chunky, decorative appearance blends naturally into outdoor spaces.
