it loves all the poo from chickens,horses,and donkeys. what doesn't get composted gets eaten.

the chicken population has grown to 15,those and the horses,donkey are the reason for a huge compost bin area. the chickens also help keep my insect population under control in the garden the down side to chickens is they like veggies too and will eat the tops off some of the plants unless you have a way to keep them out during peak growing season or while the plants are small. once you plants get mature I don't mind sacrificing some leaves to the chickens.
