I got in the habit of collecting my coffee grounds when I was throwing them in the garden to improve the soil texture. Now the soil is covered in snow. My small chicken run is covered mostly from snow/rain. The soil is so solid and frozen that is hard for the chickens to dig and dust bath. It has a thick layer of dry leaves being shredded by the chickens. I added some sand too. Will adding the dried coffee grounds in the leaves, sand and soil be a good idea??? Could the coffee ground be helpful in killing possible mites/lice??? By the way I am the only coffee drinker at home so it is not much. Thanks a lot in advice
Mine eat coffee grounds all the time. They get them form the compost pile. Nothing ever happens to them.....but my roo does stay awake all night crowing! You could put a cat-litter pan full of potting soil in thier shed to let them dig around in. It will stay loose and they can roll in it.
