The Front Porch Swing

Hey, Bee, speaking of little tidbits of information, when we were talking earlier about DLM in our run, I said something about using leaves. Been doing a lot of reading and poking around on here since then, and read somewhere (all the forums and threads start running together after so long) that leaves will mold too quickly. So do I want to use them in the poop lasagna or leave them out?
 
And I thought MY brain was full of weird little tidbits of information??

Hun, you have NO idea.

I looked it up, can not believe I have NEVER heard of that. Did you know that a female Hyena has something very much like a penis? She actually has to give birth through it.

My birds love leaves. I think they like the leaf mold (B vitamins, maybe?) and the little bugs they find when scratching in leaves. They scratch so much any leaves in the run disappear pretty quickly.

The only question I have about it is if leaves encourage mites ... but chickens + leaves seems so natural I'd think there would be a natural balance for mites. ???
