Plus, with a couple of chickens, you don’t run nearly the amount of food waste down the drain or in the garbage/landfill.


We have a compost pile that the chickens have access to. It seems to remain pretty much empty, even after several months.

You probably know this, but you need to throw some “browns” in with it, as well. That means wood mulch, leaves, etc.
Otherwise, the nitrogen content will be too hot to use your compost because of the chicken poop.
