    Anyone feed their chickens asparagus beans AKA long beans?

    We grow a lot of these. They’re not green beans although they’re green. Does anyone feed these to their chickens?

    Too chilly with coop door open?

    Newer versions of the coop have mesh vents in the eaves. I’ll have to modify somewhat. For now we do leave the coop open 24/7 though.
