Hi there! We've got an eglu for three chickens (due to arrive in June). There is a removable tray that catches the poop where they roost, that should be fairly litter free. I'm thinking about composting the droppings, as we buy Cock-a Doddle-do fertilizer and soon that will seem just plain...
My brother uses raised beds in Brooklyn that are bionic. He's been hugely successful with it.
He said his mix was 1:1:1 vermiculite, peat moss, top soil. We just put in a raised bed and I'm trying his combo. I'm curious, about the chicken remark. Is it bad for the chickens if they eat it...
