I've been composting for several years and think I have a good system going. I'm pretty new to the chicken thing other then my childhood of farm living. I've heard several things about combining composting and chickens that I wanted to make sure about before doing.
One thing I read is that you can dump your composting into your chicken run for the chickens to mix, scratch eat the bugs and so on. But I worry about what I already put in my composting. Banana peals are bad for chickens and some other things that I may have already thrown in. So should I start a new compost barrel without those things?
The other question is about composting the chicken bedding and waste. I thought it was bad to put manure in my regular composting. Should I have a separate composter for that or is it ok to mix in with what I already have going?
