That’s a good idea to use the leaves as mulch! I’ll keep that in mind.

I wouldn’t even worry about including a worm bin in the mix of composting methods for me if it weren’t for the fact that we already own the bin (and it’s one of the cute ones) so I may as well use it, and it looks like it can only add value to my garden. Last time we had worms our garden was...

Thanks for the reply, I was going to look it up and got side tracked and you reminded me. Rhubarb leaves are indeed toxic to chickens and I found this list of other things they shouldn’t have which is large enough that I think at least a small compost pile will be worth it...

Yeah, I can’t think of anything that I would need to compost that couldn’t also go in the chicken coop, except maybe rhubarb leaves? Can chickens eat those? I think I may still try keeping the worms for a while, especially since I already have the bin, I just need to go buy the worms.

I’m doing deep litter in the coop and run, I also have a worm bin, but I haven’t used it in a couple years. Is there a reason to do deep litter, and keep a worm bin, AND have a separate compost pile? Or is all of that too redundant?

Did you get another picture?

Welcome! I’m in Nampa! I’m planning my coop now, hoping to build it soon and get some chicks. What is your coop like?

Have you found a new dog/puppy yet?

Yeah, it’s not your average home hunt. The in-laws are helping us buy a house as a way to invest their inheritance so they got priority in choosing so they know it’s in a good area to give them a good return on their investment when we sell. I did get to say that I wouldn’t move if I couldn’t...

UPDATE: We found one that allows chickens, but I’m not sure yet if there is a limit on how many I can keep beyond what the city allows. The city allows 10 hens and 3 ducks, I’m hoping the HOA doesn’t limit it further.

Hello! Is there a list of HOAs in Nampa, Idaho that allow Chickens? Or a list of which ones do NOT allow chickens so I can stay away from them? I’m having a hard time finding the rules of the different HOAs as we look for a house. I feel like this is pertinent information that should be...

There’s 10-15 geese, a handful of random ducks and a bunch of mallards.

Aw man, this makes me sad! I don’t think anyone will take them in, but they aren’t the only domestic ducks at the pond, there’s also an entire flock of (what I assume) pilgrim geese.

No, not at this time, I currently just live in an apartment. I think they’re wild now.
