Love the chicken dirt. Hard to sieve when wet. Merry Christmas. Best wishes Bob.
I built a frame that fit on the wheel barrel, then I put wheels under the sifter and the sifter can be slid back and forth by one person.
I love barred rocks. I had a few last year they are great layers! Nice coop. I may something like that for the ducks im getting in the spring.
I do kinda of the same think. I wrapped a piece of wire on a piece of cattle panel. I then bang it on a barrel until the little bits fall thru. My dirt frozen at the moment.
Wish I had some of that 'chicken dirt'. We've talked about getting chickens, but we just seem to never get around to it.
Great idea..Thanks for sharing 🙂
As you say, those chickens are amazing "composting machines". Lovely.
That's a lot of work. …..but worth it.
I wonder if a rolling pin would get that chicken dirt pushed through that screen. Do you have an old one that you don't care about much?
