It was "Scouting for Food" weekend for Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts.
Our Cub Scout pack, in a small town (~6,200 residents) collected 2,391 lbs of food (AWESOME!)
Not counted in that total was quite a bit of expired food also collected. I split it up with another chicken owning family...took home about 4 paper shopping bags full.
Opened the dry stuff and dumped that in my bucket first:
Then I poured on the wet stuff, figuring it'd help soften up the dry good:
I let it sit for about an hour (while I cleaned out the cans for recycling and shredded the cardboard for composting). Then I let the flock at it:
Those are some very happy chickens.
After "processing" only one small plastic shopping bag ended up in the trash (mostly plastic wrapping and "windows", seasoning packets, etc.)
