Really cool i love it
looks like you my have a mouse problem
Haha, this was the best chicken coop tour ever, haha you are also funny! (:
This video is a perfect example of how Not to house your chickens !!!. That is a breeding ground for rats, rot, and disease !!!. Get the hen house and your compost piles away from your house. From what i can see and hear in this video, you really should not be advising people about raising chickens. Read a book or two about raising chickens, for your own health and safety as well as for the chickens sake.
My chickens love that 25cent ramen noodles cooked chopped warm in winter
Cool project. Peaceful space. If you can rig a fan for forced air between the two, you might improve on the heat held in. Have you heard about Chinese solar greenhouses? The temp difference can be 30C. I just watched a video where they had a bigger compost than yours and it was hot to warm for 2 months, then it dropped off. How long has yours been going for? All the best.
lotsa good ideas here – thanks for sharing
Thanks for the tip. The pile isn’t heating up at all so I don’t think there’s going to be a problem there. I’ve been keeping an eye on it. Do you know of any way I could still pipe the heat to the chickens without the danger of spreading the pile?
We have had manure piles catch on fire they were so hot! I think I would move your compost pile away from your house!
Travis you’re spot on about your compost. Assuming its not completely composted its missing an essential ingredient – either water, air or the proper C/N ration. Stirring it up may activate it but until you discover what you’re missing, it won’t last.
