I collected fallen leaves from neighbours and made a big pile inside my chicken pen. Before winter I also added chicken bedding with manure. In winter compost heap was hot inside, and when I turned it every other day or so, there were living worms. I also added soaked wheat the compost, so my chickens ate sprouts, worms, kitchen scraps, and cooked potatoes.

I have been composting since 1955 without stink. I used lots of greenery, e.g., grass clippings. My piles finished in 2 weeks if turned every 3 days, minimum. Chickens get more out of grain if sprouted.

Those were fly maggots, not worms. But chickens eat them too.

How do you get, reproduce, and insert the earthworms? Can it even happen sustainably?

I saw a guy feed his chickens beans cooked for 24 hours and macaroni pasta for winter months and claims they kept up egg production

But was it good for the chickens?

@@jjbryan11 IDK but they looked healthy and he claimed they kept up on egg production in the winter. This was when people claimed the feed was tainted and it was cheaper than the feed.

What I cant give to the chickens or traditional compost is going in the black soldier fly bins. Then my chickens get the larvae. I’m just not sure how to manage during the winter when BSF aren’t active.

And be careful hauling waste from grain eating animals. Some hay/straw producers use an herbicide that won’t break down for YEARS. So it could basically sterilize tour garden for up to 5 years if you add it to your compost and that compost is applied to your garden.

Single stomached animals eating corn/soy cannot break them down, passing these harmful inflammatory oils down to us who eat them (chicken, pork). We eat pastured eggs as much as possible or the meat of multi stomached animals (beef, venison, elk, bison, goat, lamb).
