Topic: Harmful to chickens???

[jono]

Morning!!
I am in the final stages of building my new chicken coup and run area so I can increase from 3 birds to 7. I would like to plant a tree in their area to give them some shelter and make it more interesting for them. Are there any trees I should stay away from? Also I was going to put wood bark down in the run to stop it getting to muddy, is this ok?
many thanks in advance for your help,
Jono
