That's what I do. I eat plant based so most of my leftovers get put in a bowl and I give it to a couple times a week at dinnertime. Usually it's sweet potatoes, peas, greens beans, and a few others veggies or fruit.
Make a compost pile for the spring with it. I wouldn't use it with other animals just because it's not clean.
I use pine shavings only with my ducks and chickens because it keeps the moisture out. I don't put any water or food in the coop either that keeps it nice and clean.
Now I'm looking at goats :gigthis is why my husband always knows I've been on BYC because I always want something new. As long as they're cared for then who cares :idunno
I'm a sucker for the blue eyed ones. I'm sure I'd take any goat though. I'll probably end up rescuing one when I have the room for them. I'm a sucker for animals who have had a bad life because I spoil them.
I need to learn all the goat terminology when I go to buy mine. I don't want my goats breeding so I might just do females. I'm looking at ones with blue eyes.
When I went to the chicken swap on Sunday there was somebody selling ones with blue eyes, but I didn't really get a good look at them...
