Compost Fed Chickens

First video in a series where we document our experiments in raising 25 laying hens as close to completely as possible on active compost piles and greens. We're excited to develop the process as time goes on, but so far our 5 week old hens are learning quickly and seeming to thrive on nearly 100% compost and invertebrates growing in it. Our goal is to have no purchased grain go into feeding these little ladies.
