Thank you, Bonnie, and also BrianS. I’ll proceed as you both have recommended. I have chickens as well but no idea how to collect manure yet. I’ve free ranged until this year, as losses since last winter have just been too great to continue without some sort of protected area for the chickens. I envision putting them in a small building with straw as bedding, and access to a large protected pasture grass area during daytime hours.

Ideally would put them into chicken tractors but no design I’ve found is affordable on a larger scale such as I desire, and my homemade PVC/chicken wire tractor is very unattractive. <haha>

Howdy from rural southern Missouri. Found out about this website from watching one of Danny’s recent videos and am glad to be here. Look forward to expanding my community and getting to know folks.
