Hey gang!
I have a new coop and run (I'm a newbie) and have done oodles of research. I've had a vegetable garden for years and started canning. The next step was a no brainer, chickens...for eggs and entertainment. I've never had a compost. I know that chickens and compost are beneficial for each other...
The chickens will help turn the compost and help the decomposition and the compost will produce nice little bugs and treats. I want to add a 3x3x3 compost adjacent to the run that the chickens will have access to. (When I open their access, not 24/7)
But I've also read, among my research, that the compost should be far away from the coop/run.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
