The nitrogen should be all you need for grass.. You may need to toss some grass seed down after they are moved to a new area. Take a PH sample of your dirt. Grass won't grow in areas where the ph is too high or too low.

I was outside at 7 this morning. For 45 minutes, in the rain, I moved my grow outs into the pen with the mellowest group of adult birds that I have. I did that because the grow out area is not set up to handle the amount of rain we are suppose to get over the next 24 hours... I've checked on...

I don't know about that.... It sure looks like he has stars in his eyes, Red Stars... LOL... Maybe he prefers American made versus the French women.... That is just like a male, NEVER happy with what they have...Always thinking the pastures are greener somewhere else.
