Wood Chipper for Coop Bedding

A high-quality woodchipper is required to make wood chip bedding for chickens. Many people who purchase a woodchipper aren’t looking to sell woodchips but to clean up their property. While many use woodchips for mulch, using them first as chicken bedding and then as mulch will reduce bedding costs and increase the nutrient value of the mulch. Keeping the fallen and cut branches on-site has positive environmental effects, such as reducing waste, improving the soil quality, and reducing methane emissions caused by landfills. To fill a chicken coop with surplus tree material from your property, you’ll need a woodchipper with shredding capabilities. To learn more, we spoke to Jon Richardson, business development manager for Crary Industries. The company manufactures the Bear Cat woodchipper, one of many products you could use for this sustainable-themed task.
