Chicken and duck poop

[Citytransplant]

Yes, usually works.

How big is your run, how big coop & how many chickens?

There is a HUGE thread on DLM here on BYC & many small ones. Cant remember who started it , what year (before 2010). U can search it under articles - a member, Beekissed, did a video shows how it worked IN her actual coop (not the run). Lots of other pics from other folks.

Beekissed is Montainwoman on youtube. You can search her/DLM & watch it that way.

For ideas on other composting in the run (depending on where you live & how big run is), check out Justin Rhodes (permaculture style farmer near Asheville, NC). Justin Rhodes did a trip around the US showing videos of other permaculture farms - he did a big one in the north eastern US (hundreds of pounds of waste being composted at a farm by a large flock of chickens). Think the year of that was 2017.

You tuber - Edible Acres (Sean - permaculture gardener in western NY) and then search out others from there. He shows several years of composting - using deep litter in his coop and then transferring it out to his "traveling" compost (forget what he calls it). He brings in lots of compost from his local peeps, puts it up in a covered green house type set up for the chickens to work on in the cold winters, then moves it out to the next step, then moves it again until finished. LOTS of work, but really GREAT how he shows - several years worth - from start to finish. He uses the finsihed compost on his own permacuture garden and sells it, I believe.

Here are pics of my DLM. I don't have fully enclosed coops. These are permanent pens/coops and the birds get a combination of free ranging and tractoring out of these coops.

Photos are great. Helped a lot in how to handle poop and the chicken yard. Your chicken looked so happy with all the "fun" stuff you gave them. Thanks buncehs
