I used both white, red wood shavings and compressed straw which is really soft unlike wheat straw, and evey morning I go coop to coop and let the birds out and scoop poop trays, walk down to the compost and dump it on.
I do the same cleaning rabbit cage trays every 2 or 3 days...then about 3 times a year I replace all the coop 'bedding' in nest boxes and on the floors, and throw it on the pile.
Also coffee grounds, kitchen scraps, vegie leftovers no one wants...and pitch fork it evey 2-3 days to turn it over, water in summer..and
when I get a giant pile, I start a new one...so the first is 'cooking' keep turning and keep it damp.

When you know it is ready to plant is when it has no more recognizable poop or straw in it.
The first batch of vegies I plant in it are a pack of lettuce seed for the chickens to eat.
I'd guess it takes about 3 months to have it ready to plant is you follow this, especially turn it often...and keep it damp.

Drive over !
One of us can put you up for the night, and you can zip back the next day, I drove from Snohomish to Aeneas Valley, and back again in one day with room to spare, so can you !
But drive over Saturday, do the fair, spend the night, drive back the next day ?
Stay with Tamara or Monica or someone in the area !

Yeah...I'm tempted...but I have two 'bators that are on lock-down now (bantam wyanodottes, light Sussex and lemon blue cochins) plus, we're in the middle of a house remodel....are there chickens for sale there???

 

[Chickielady]

maybe, ask Tamara or Monica....Tamara had some for sale as I recall, and Monica was thinning her flocks for winter as of a few weeks ago...look on Craigslist for over there in that area and see what you can see, oh and check out Royce also at Tailfeatherz he was selling as of last week...Cree always has some for sale too, I think...
