Wouldn't it be a lot easier to run the leaves through a chipper shredder? That's what we do with our leaves (for compost, not bedding as we have not chickens right now). I have tried the mower shredding (with no catcher bag) and we lost most of the leaves-they blew away or sunk into the ground quickly.
