    Using Hay In Nest Box

    I have a nest box with carpet in it. It has worked fine. I made two more nest boxes in my coop addition. I put hay in them and the hay slowly disappears. They must be eating it. Is this bad for them? I am worried about it getting stuck in their crops.

    Feeding Fertilized Grass To Chickens

    I did not fertilize last year because of the chickens. The lawn took a beating not from chickens just from weather. The chickens can't get to this area of grass. Can these grass clippings be fed to them at some point or should I not give them it all season?
