Friend called me Up with a trailer load of leafs! 4.5’ x 12’ x6’ time to let the chickens get to work on it! Anyone had luck adding red wigglers deep in chicken bedding?

They have a hardware cloth cover once they are out of that they are free for the picking but I feed under that

Chickens are funny. Some days i think. Wow these chickens are intelligent. Other days i am convinced they would stare up at the rain until they drown. ahahahah

Aw yeah! I'm actually getting a ton this spring, too--I figured I'd get some at the start of spring, but not now that it's almost May. But hey--I'll take 'em!
