    Composting Tumbler

    Wow, quite a system you have there! Thanks for the advice. Our coop is in our yard with the lawn and plants, etc, so we don't have much ground space for making a pile, which is why I've been considering the tumbler. It sounds like having two may be the way to go so that I can let one "cook"...

    Composting Tumbler

    Right. I am also thinking that the volume could be an issue. We don't have a whole lot of room, and appearance is pretty important in this part of the yard. The tumbler I'm looking at is 80 gallons, and is $70 at Costco. Pretty good deal, I thought!

    Composting Tumbler

    I'm thinking of buying a tumbling compost bin. Should I get more than one? We have 7 chickens. How long does it take for the compost become useable? We would put in droppings with shavings, grass clippings, hay, coffee grounds, etc.

    @KlaHaYa Gardens Thanks for the tip! (I'm actually a bit North of Seattle, in Bothell) I just looked around for that Coop Tour, and it looks like I just missed it! :-(

    Surprising my wife with chickens in Seattle

    Hmm, Would silkies do well in this Seattle climate? It does get well below freezing from time to time in the winter.

    Surprising my wife with chickens in Seattle

    Well, I have not built the coop yet but I do have a general idea of what to do. (hard to surprise her if I have the coop built!) :-) Yesterday, I got one each of: Rhode Island Rd Golden Sex Link Barred Rock Brown Leghorn On Monday, I plan to return and get a Modeled Houdan for kicks!

    Hah, well I think I'm also on my own with the coop. I used to be a carpenter, so that'll be my little project! no complaints though. I love my projects!

    Surprising my wife with chickens in Seattle

    Greetings, all! Well, my wife has been asking for chickens for quite some time now, so I've secretly made a small brooder, purchased 4 chicks, and I unveil them on sunday! (anniversary of our first date) So... for a while, I'm on my own.
