WWYD: Winter run decision.

[My Very First 6 Chickens]

You are in NH and I imagine LOTS of fallen leaves to gather. I am in CT and for the winter i use straw and dried leaves. I bag up about 12 big bags late fall and thats still not enough, but its better than nothing. Yea, dried leaves for the win. It helps with winter weather and provides many many hours of enrichment. Throw some treats in, they love it. <3 Good luck winter is almost here!

For the life of me, I cannot source this in New Hampshire. It makes no sense, seeing as we have a Dunkin Donuts every 1/2 mile. Someone bag these grounds, please!

Right? I've never seen this locally, anywhere. And I drink coffee, but not THAT much coffee...

Hay or wood shavings

Unfortunately, I would have to get on a plane to procure it.

You must be in California. Lol
Do a search. There's got to be somebody in California that sells used coffee grounds, or somebody that can ship wherever you are.

I use coffee grounds as a mushroom growing substrate and to add to compost and I've never paid for them Just leave a container in a coffee shop and they fill it up for me.
