I was there for chicken feed today also and thought the same thing. They look just like chicken pellets. Bought a bag of shavings instead. There's a LOT of stuff in one of those bales of pine shavings. It's really packed hard.
There are 2 kinds of shavings also, at least there were today. I saw the bags were different, the one wrapped in yellow says "fine" and looks like sawdust. I bought the flake kind that I'm used to. The chickens grind the flakes down to powder bad enough as it is.
Diane S.--SW NYS---very mild out tonight, getting a lot of wind, but severe snow and wind warning for tomorrow morning, with hard cold behind it.

I was afraid of that when I first began letting mine free-range--the horses are bedded mostly in pellets, and the chickens *love* going in the stalls! But I've never really seen one eat a pine pellet, even though they are about the same diameter as the layer pellets (a little longer and lighter color).
Of course foam is amother subject entirely...
