Love it man i do the same thing. I trap garden pests and even use older meats and veggies to attract soldier flies to lat eggs. Chickens love there larvae. So much goes to waste in the worls these days. It shouldnt haft to.
I have been looking for a good video for a few months now. As I am wanting to do the same in my area. My wife thinks I have lost the plot. As I see it as a small scale business adventure.
When you feed the chickens scraps, do you need to alternate days of doing scraps with normal grains, food whatever? (And is calcium an issue with scraps?)
Or can you still have healthy chickens and have them laying eggs while feeding scraps all the time?
I love this video. Love it. My question is....how many hens do you figure i can feed on something of this same size??
Nicely done, well said, thank you
Very nice! Very simple useful advice. Thank you.
Whew! most eateries have processed flour foods, NGO & pesticide produce, garbage cooking oils, refined sugar-laden stuff, antibiotic/hormone altered meats etc...NOT FOR MY CHICKENS!!!
Waste produce from an organic market is great...also maggots from roadkill if not too noxious to handle 😫
There's not many easy shortcuts to healthy food creation...done.

where did you find your signs? I can not find it on the website :(
Great, I will follow what you do
Hello! We get all of our chicken food from a Mexican restaurant across the street. Some days there are lots of meat scraps. Some days I can't tell if there is any meat..mostly rice, tortilla (corn) chips, chunks of veges from salsa. Do you think I should add protein or crumble ever or are we just fine with whatever we get from the restaurant? Thank you! When it is laying season, we toast and crush the shells to give back to them.
Great video! Just curious if you still manage your food scraps this way, I heard a talk where it was mentioned to get your compost up to 120F first before feeding to chickens, can you comment on that?
hello, what if some of the food scraps is rotten? will my chickens get sick?
i am keeping my chickens away from my compost pile because of this tought
Chickens will also eat invertebrates (grubs, worms, woodlice, etc.) that are attracted to the rotting food scraps and move into older compost piles that have passed the thermophilc stage and into the mesophilic stage. If you maintain several compost piles of different ages, older piles that contain well-composted food scraps should be safe for chickens to scratch through.
@@danielmocsny5066 thank you! Thermophilic and mesophilic stages are good terms to know and read up on. Compost management can be done in accordance to weather and desired outcome.
Excellent way to manage scraps to gain both nutritional compost and to feed your chickens! Will start this at home in the UK. Well done to all :)
Sadly it's illegal to do this in the UK.
@@louise1048 That is very sad. I always feel compelled to break nonsense rules : )
Thanks , I will start
What a fantastic system!!
Great Video !! ... Good Explanation! ... Thank You! ... Subscribed !
Thank you very educational. Just started homesteading. Have got 21 birds 2 weeks ago. I will definitely be doing this and we liked your music.:)
Great job!
2:23 garbage thrower could be illetrate or dont follow these rules,,,if u put this size drum of wasted food then this waste is for how many hens?and for how much time they will not need next drum,,, 3:10 what is this water
Your sign says "oils" under the "yes" row, kitchen cooking oil is ok to go into the compost?
Some (plant and animals oils) in small amounts can be. If it has been left at room temperature and gone solid, you can make bird feeders (fat balls) out of it. I would not compost oil in large quantities though, at least not in my own personal bin.
👍👍👍🙏
Thank you for tis video
Ty
Does this attract other animals that could harm the chickens
I feed only restaurant food to our chickens. I feed in their tightly enclosed run so that rats can't get in there. I used to feed in their 2ndary run that is more open and has our home compost in it and noticed rats were cleaning up after the chickens left anything.
KILL the music not need when you are talking or any other time when making a video about compost. Just saying
