I have to be another month in the dreaded boot to let my achilles tendon heal. I have gone through several garbage bags, using them to protect the boot when I go in the coop, and found that the pine shavings bags are thicker, more durable plastic, and also are the perfect size to wrap around the boot. I just have to thoroughly shake out the leftover shavings and check for holes. The chickens aren’t as afraid of this as well. Bonus.
