No eggs yet but they're eating 2 tonnes of food a day and they seem to like their roost

2 tonnes of food a day for no reward, sounds like my spawn!
Two tonnes of food a day that some consumption but how much poop a day do you have to shift? Some fertiliser load there.
Had a girlfriend like that once, cost me a fortune but got no nookie. So didn't let her hang around very long. Worst two days of my life ........
In the next couple of weeks when they come into lay they doing strange things like roosting in funny places right next to the camera
Three loads on this, it all comes out on a conveyor 6x 1.5meter x100meter muck belts once or twice a week we have a dedicated generator that provides power only for the manure belts it's an x hospital one lol
Can the chicken poop waste be used to create bio-fuel @miller1098 ?

Don’t see why they can’t use it for women’s make up, after all they use camel dung, don’t they?????
Feathers growing out of your face is better than having the hump 24/7, “NO ?????” Just a thought.

Im afraid egg production manure can't be used for bio fuel as there's to much grit in it .other chicken production like broiler (what you buy off the supermarket frezzer) can be used .we have a small solar system as our line can't take much return power
Interesting.
The River Wye has a massive problem with chicken poop being discharged into it, turning the river green and destroying wildlife.
It’s true that farming has an impact on water quality in the wye as it always has done but by far the biggest problem is the population growth on the River Lugg which flows into the wye but hey that doesn’t make good headlines.Even if every farmer stopped tomorrow the percentage difference would not bring water quality to proper levels in fact above the Lugg it’s within guidelines except for some poor sewage discharge that they say is impossible to improve with the technology available .Not really sure how chicken manure is having that great an effect as we have strict guidelines on what we can do with it,in fact when our chickens are outside they are not allowed to come within 5meters of a stream or ditch in case they poop in it.
