I think they could require screening on the coops that would fix that. After all, they let us have domesticated birds.Florida Homesteaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08284259763669213681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-68762031284001830162009-02-09T21:11:21.268-08:002009-02-09T21:11:21.268-08:00I take it to my Dad's farm, he likes it for his fields. I have six chickens and they are in the coop all the time now for winter, they are big hens but they certainly don't put out 11 pounds of poop. I have a problem with the dozens of cats that always keep going to the bathroom in my garden, that is pretty gross but no one worries about that!nobody-but-us-chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11804995514131540143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-29890634642934692632009-02-05T17:56:55.876-08:002009-02-05T17:56:55.876-08:00Love your blog! We are currently trying to pass an ordinance in Caledonia, WI (www.caledoniachickens.com). I am the owner of 7 renegade chickens. After reading your post, I got curious about cat litter and since today is garbage day, I happened to have one week's worth of cat litter, so I weighed it. My one 15 lb cat produced 13.4 lbs of litter in one week. So there you go!LuckyDoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02510964185494597930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-20435022203299139022009-02-05T11:09:30.327-08:002009-02-05T11:09:30.327-08:00We give our chicken droppings and the coop clean outs to some farmers up the street. I don't think chicken poop could be any more damaging than some people's dog poop!Crazy Chicken Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14633337766365729459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-53372849088632540222009-02-05T10:17:29.312-08:002009-02-05T10:17:29.312-08:00Our small flock free ranges over ten acres so their spread their manure far afield. We do collect the poop from the hen house and put that in the compost and over our garden space to prepare the ground for planting season. Oh, and some does come in the house on our boots!Granny Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-23143551108035096022009-02-05T09:56:48.022-08:002009-02-05T09:56:48.022-08:00I'm with you, ThomasK. I put the droppings in the compost. I wish I could compost in place by putting it on my (currently resting and covered in snow) raised beds, but the dogs would eat it then. :-( Gross, but true!Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08767604828307174133noreply@blogger.com
