Our Chickens feed our worms

Here at the Friendly Worm Guy farm, we now have Laying hens… well 50 of them. and they give me alot of poop!!
and what do we do with the poop!! you guessed it!! we feed it to the worms.
we have 2 groups of hens at the moment, we have for the last 2 years brought in ready to lay hens, now our flock is closed and we incubate our own replacement birds. Well I guess I should say a bird to add to our number of laying hens.our oldest hens are only 2-3 years old and still producing well.

Here is a sweet little red replacement bird for our flock

Here is one of the older hens
