My family & friends laugh at me. Because I don't check Facebook but I'm into the chicken forum every day or so.. .

Wondering if anyone is breeding or knows a breeder of SQ Buff Orpingtons? My hatchery girls aren't too bad but this roo is too tall and skinny. I'd actually love to get a boy that's ready to breed soon. Either that or chicks or hatching eggs in a month or two

I have started an experimental " chomposter" ( heard that term somewhere on the web) in the chicken run today! I have been researching this and thought how lovely it would be! The browns go down then your greens ( kitchen wastes) go in and the chickens chomp, scratch ( aerate) and add more nitrogen to the mix. The next day I add some moisture and start the layers again!

Like I said its just an experiment, but the girls think they have died and gone to heaven! Lots of happy chicken noises. I can't seem to add a picture here with my iPad so I added a chomposter pic on my page.

I haven't been on for awhile, very busy in the gardens and with the chickens. I just wanted to report that we got our first 3 cubic ft load of compost from the chomposter. It is dark, rich, and smells devine!

Other than that, birds are great, egg production is apprx 28 a wk from 6 birds.

Thank You, this is the way I'll be going. Great way to put old furniture to use.
