Composting pine shavings

[2468Gardeningisgr8]

I have just changed over the coop from straw to pine shavings because I found the straw was becoming damp from the snow etc. and shavings are alot easier to scoop the poop......We are in the process of making a big composter out of skids and the plan was to put the chicken poop and shavings in this composter
So my question is would the compost soil be more acidic ?Should I add something else to balance out the soil?We do use straw for the rabbit hutch .What else can I use for this composter.I have a couple composters that I use mainly for the kitchen waste.
Or should I just use this acidic soil for plants that like acidic soil?....thanks

I've been composting pine shavings for a while, and I've not had any problems. (Not that I'm out there measuring the pH though)

I also use PDZ in my chicken coop along with the shavings, and I'm assuming it acts like lime as far as the compost goes.
