:ep what!!! so all of these leaf bags I drive by in town I could simply pick up and use as bedding for my chickens? I can't beleive I never thought of this!!:clapDo you just keep adding to it in the winter?
Unless people are using chemicals on their lawns. Might not be good for the chickens.

Yes, just dump another couple bags in the coop. Spring time, dig it out and put on the garden. Add more leaves and start over. The chickens make compost for you.

Everyone had an ultrasound done, and is pregnant! Though my Cinnamon ewe is much farther behind the others. Very early on and hard to tell but it looks like she is. I thought she was farther along....when in reality she is just fat lol
Looking forward to lambing season more then ever now!
