Since getting my chickens for my birthday this year
I am very happy with the number of bugs they are eating! They can gladly have the hornworms... should any show up on the maters, we will find out if the chickens like them!!
This spring I sparked a conversation with a local farmer... he was going on about wanting some chicken manure <it was before my b-day> to grow his tomatoes. He said chicken manure grows the best tomatoes ~ "In spring, just dig yourself a hole where the tomatoes will grow, put some chicken manure in the hole and cover it up, then plant your tomato seeds; by the time the roots grow down to the manure, it will be perfect fertilizer."
I will probably try that next spring.
