    Don't tell the wife, I'm growing fodder in the 2nd bathroom!

    When you are taking care of your chickens and going through the process of growing fodder, you’re also staying out of her hair - sounds like a win-win here! Just make sure to grow her something too - try a money tree... yet another win-win idea! :highfive:

    Review by 'pauoa' in article 'Chicken-Keeping Tips for City Slickers'

And we use a shallow pan as a poop board and I use zeolite liberally. I also bought a huge bag of lavender flowers from...
