I put mine at the base of my trees. Keeps the weeds from growing, less weed-eating work for me.
Since I am located outside the city and have some steep terrain on my property, I use them for erosion control and walking trails…. along with most of the aforementioned uses.
That is odd that they would eat them. I have never seen a chicken do that. I have seen them scratch around looking for bugs and such.
It’s not so much the big shavings as the sawdust and tiny chips of wood they seem to be going for. I’m told chickens eat sand as a digestive aid, so maybe it’s something like that.
Good afternoon,
Small dust-like shavings can make a very good filler. All you do it mix the shavings with wood glue when you’re ready to use. I learnt that in school.

Richard.
I plan on using my shavings to start fires in my shop pot belly stove.
