I saw a 25 pound bag of ground walnut shells at the pet store. It was in the bird section and sold as bedding. Does anyone know if I can use if for my chickens? They sleep in a crate. This would be much easier and cheaper than timothy hay. Supposedly, it keeps down the smell, clumps and is easy to sift. Suppose it works like kitty litter.

Black walnut is used to make a dark dye- it might have made them look a little funny.

With horses and some other animals walnuts, whether shells, or even sawdust made from walnut can act as a poison. It can even be absorbed through the bottom of their feet! I would avoid the stuff just in case.
