    What should deep litter compost look like when it's ready for the garden?

    We built a garden and got chickens this spring. We're brand new to all this (and loving it), so we don't know much about anything. We've been doing the deep litter method with a waterproof floor. It seems to be going very well. I stir it regularly and add pine shavings and we have almost no...

    How do I keep my chickens away from my house and garden?

    I have about 20 chickens. They like to dig up my plants... I dont like that... How do I naturally repel them? Also, the chickens love to dig up the dirt around the foundation of the house so much as the changing the grade in an area and causing water in the garage. I need to stop this ASAP...

    How high a fence to keep hens out of veggie garden?

    Howdy, I hope this is the correct forum. I searched and only found dead old threads from 2014. We have 9 laying hens, 1 old maid, and 1 lazy rooster. It's time to plan our veggie garden. In Texas, if you wait too late, you get sun-dried dead veggies. I've never seen our chickens fly higher...
