Catch 22 Composting

They are certainly prodigious flingers!

I also use my hens to "slow compost" in the run. Under the current layer of leaves is a layer of composted leaves, manure, and uneaten food scraps a good three inches deep.

This spring I plan to harvest some of this "slow compost" to make room for a big compost pile setup.
