Chippings for runs

[moola]

Do they not get treacherously slippy Moola?We've got several old lorry mats that we thought of using but our experience of them as a temporary path last year...just the rain & a little mud...has put us off using them.Can only imagine that rain combined with chook poop etc could only end in a rather unpleasant slip!?...I'll happily stand to be corrected as it will save us buying an alternative!

They are the ones with holes in so no, they don't get all slippy. Also being holey you don't have the problem of rats getting underneath overnight to keep warm.
Another idea...some people are now selling rubber chippings - not sure how much they cost though. Long lasting I would have thought....

rubber chippings, now initially I thought that is a good idea, but then how easy would it be for a chicken to eat one and get it stuck?

I checked some prices, for a 3mx3m area you would be looking at £96 apparently most of this stuff is non toxic according the the FAQ pages
