  • Aloha, in this video we show you our Chicken House which we use to make our compost. It is such a valuable tool on our farm to create rich compost that we can apply to our gardens and fruit trees. This video outlines the basics of the structure and how it all works. We encourage you to give it a go. Let us know in the comments if you enjoyed this video, or if you have any questions! If you actually read this description comment a chicken emoji. Mahalo!

    Nice chicken shed. They are happy birds you have there. This guy on natures always right uses Chunks of charcoal in livestock water and deep litter. I find your videos fun and informative

      Thanks! We have used charcoal in the mulch before but not in the water, we’ll have to give that a try 😊

    Is it county mulch or are you creating your own mulch. Great to see you making compost and that's so easy. I am currently raising a couple of pigs and deep bedding is a great way to make compost.

    • @OffGridHawaii
      @OffGridHawaii  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes it’s county mulch. it just makes it that much easier. Once a month I get mulch and straight away the chicken house gets one bucket load (about 1/5 of the truck load) and the rest I age for other uses.

    Cómo batallan con los piojillos de las gallinas

    • @OffGridHawaii
      @OffGridHawaii  3 місяці тому

      Ellas se dan baños de polvo seco para prevenir los piojillos. Una ves hace tiempo les dimos “diatomaceous earth” (Tierra de diatomeas) para matar los piojillos.

      Really the compost and manure they create is well worth keeping chickens. They are really fun as pets too. We have built a beautiful relationship with them working together to create fertility for our garden and fruit trees, which can then feed us and our chickens. What a wonderful cycle 😊
