Sure, but just mix the manure directly into the compost and dilute it and it won't burn your plants.
Raising chickens
- Thread starter BrunoMars420
- Start date
I have 11 chickens and a DIY coop with exterior nesting boxes accessed by a lid. We get 8-10 eggs a day for three people, so we sell the extras to neighbors or give them away to friends. It covers our feed bill, nesting pads, and coop bedding. As a result we have as many "free" fresh, organic eggs as we can eat.
Pretty easy if you have an automatic door and automatic feeders. We can go out of town for a weekend, but have a neighbor clear out the nesting boxes and check on them if we will be away longer. A neighbor is usually happy to help for whatever eggs are in the boxes.
It's also nice to not have refrigerate them and that they last for several weeks longer than store bought eggs. Overall, I like it and would recommend it if you have the proper space and time.

You should go for a walk. Get some fresh air.
My guy, we all believe you are the shit show and none of us will miss it.
How is raising your own food responsibly and ethically a bad thing.
If anything we need more backyard or small farmers to buy from.
Why millennials are giving up city life to start homesteading
More young families are drawn to living self-sufficiently on a homestead. It's a way to find peace in nature and control the uncontrollable.

speaking of cult members…..
Nothing wrong when you live on a small acreage, for example.
But when you have a neighbor's property 20' from a property line, that's a great way to start a feud.
This whole debate arose because the Trump campaign made a campaign promise they knew they couldn't fulfill.
They only brought it up so they could point a finger at Biden.
Everyone but the numpties knew the bird flu was the root cause.
And now the ridiculous tariff/trade war eliminates easing the problem with imports from Canada/Mexico.
I swear you people are nothing but trolls.
Paraphrasing Freud, sometimes a chicken is just a chicken.
I have a friend who recently browbeat me for making a sad “womp, womp” trombone sound when another friend dropped his food at a gathering. Apparently Trump or Vance recently made the same sound publicly and that means that I am now a nazi sympathizer because I made a similar dumb joke.
People, Trump sucks big time, don’t let him turn you into a worse person.

I never thought I would see the day where you would become a Nazi sympathizer because you raised your own chickens.
But here we are
There are ways to de-escalate conflict with neighbors if that were to happen. Or, OP could talk to his neighbor before putting up a coop.
You are insane.
We are literally talking about the positives/negatives of raising chickens.
You made this political because your brain is broken and you can only see through the lens of left vs. right.
Do better or get some help you fuking psycho
Thanks, Now I don't have to post the same thing.
He was the first to make this political in post #7.
Edit: The only one to make it political.
Years bird can get the same flu as commodity birds. I'd be best to brush up on identifying it if your going to raise a flock.
That is going to be part of keeping any livestock, and also why it probably shouldn't be assumed to be cheap.
Lol.
So your claim is that all of the people who have been raising chickens since long before last week are raising chickens because of something Brooke Rollins didn’t say until last week.
You should maybe take a minute to ponder just how fvcking stupid you sound.
LOL.
You know damn well what I said.
Take your phone and then post a picture of your backyard chicken farm if you really believe it is a good plan.
You won't cause you don't.
Indeed, it was common practice until, say the 40s/50s range, for most homes to have a small garden and having a couple chickens was common, too. It's amazing how quickly we went from that to thinking only an insane off-gridder would have a tomato plant.
Wow, that must make half my family Nazi because they raised chickens and pigs, and their own vegetables.
My friends have had chickens for at least 15 years. One family has backyard chickens. The rest have more land. At least five different people here, four in CT, 3 in AL, ….
So, really. Also most of those people also grow their own veggies, some are beekeepers.
Not everyone lives in a vacuum.
