Good afternoon chicken lover friends,
We have been wanting to start composting for a while, and now that we've got the peeps it makes perfect sense to fire it up! We've done read some research, but would super appreciate any practical advice you all might have to offer! To give you an idea, we have six clucky ladies and currently our coop + run situation have vinyl floors with sand. We live in a cold, dry climate! Some of the topics we are wondering about...

To give you an idea, we have six clucky ladies and currently our coop + run situation have vinyl floors with sand. We live in a cold, dry climate! Some of the topics we are wondering about...
- Pile V.S. Barrel?
- Will the sand remnants be okay in the compost?
- What's a good location for the compost? Is it okay close to the coop or will it smell/bother the ladies/attract detrimental pests?
- Any general basic advice?
