Try a chicken farm. The one down the road from me gives it away for free. They have long barns with thousands of chickens in it and they have mountains of poop they have to get rid of.
Check with your local feed store for places that sell poultry manure. Most of the larger operations truck it out… and they won’t let people into the facility to collect droppings in general. It’s also very expensive as compared to other manure as it must be aged and is among the highest sources of nitrogen. Ask around, certainly there is someone keeping chickens?
Can you buy chickens droppings somewhere?
We put our chicken crap straight onto the veg. garden over the winter when its empty or we put it into the compost piles. We also mix cow manure straight into the soil and it works great in the vegetable garden.
I saw RIR stnd, and RIR bantams!!!
Thanks for suggesting that Mike…
We actually have discussed that over the past couple of years… it’s called the home and garden network here in the U.S. but I didn’t want to do a continuing series, only a few segments regarding backyard poultry. I enjoy sharing and teaching. I appreciate that you think that would be a good idea!
Why dont you get your own TV show?!
I think it was “G-String on a Hen”!
this chicken are living the resort lifestyle
not like their corporate counterparts who lives in an overcrowded stinky jail cell all their lives being injected with drugs
what a pity
Thanks for the comments and um… “hen on a g-string?” that’s a first for me… I’m not certain.
The chickens are already working on this year’s garden plot for me… we practice “no-till” gardening here… Thanks again!
Thanks for the post and for the high quality video and audio. Hope my garden starts looking as good as yours. Also, many thanks for the Bach soundtrack. Was that “Hen on the G-String?”
You have to judge the condition of the litter… if you can smell amonia, or, if there is lots of small dust rising from it… it’s time to change it out. It’s important, with litter raising, that fresh shavings be added little by little, to keep things dry and not too condensed. As for corn, yes, grow lots of it. The chicken droppings are full of nitrogen and corn uses that full force! I always do a half acre of corn and throw ears to the chickens. Don’t forget tomatos!
Is it sanitary to leave the same coop substrate while the chickens live on it for a year? Or should I clean it out weekly?? I really want to save some money!
this is really amazing! Today I just finished building an extra chicken coop on the side of my other recent one! I keep bantams, large polish chickens, and french breeds as well! I show most of my poultry at the county fair! My coops ae located in a fenced run/yard are! Inside the fencing I would like to take advantage of the area and plant some corn, I already have some plantain and banana trees but corn would be in my advantage! What do you think?
