I shoveled all of the hay and poop from the floor of the pen yesterday, filling 8 or so large yard waste bags. They're in the alley parallel to Montview and just one house south off Clermont (West side) beside our garage - please come get some for your compost. Be warned that the bags are HEAVY.
The hens loved having access to the dirt floor for a bit, and several took 'baths.' Coraline, of course, supervised the entire endeavor. They also loved scratching through the new hay - all in all, a happy experience. They rewarded me with 8 eggs yesterday, my last day of the rotation.

Lucy - thanks so much for doing this! You're the best! 8 eggs, that's amazing. Enjoy your eggs, I'll come by for some of the straw. Bruce
ReplyDeleteThe garbage truck just picked up the bags, unfortunately. They were separate from our garbage bags but still too close apparently. I had just posted them on Craigslist and had some interest - uggh!
