I have an Eglu which has a tray at the bottom which slides out for

I should put the droppings into the compost barrels or can it go
straight onto the earth between plants without scorching?


It's far too fierce to put on raw. *Put the droppings into the compost and
leave them for a year.
I have lots of chickens and I do this.
I once put fresh chicken poo on my rhubarb. *It seemed like a good idea at
the time but it killed it stone dead.

Thanks Tina. I cleaned them out yesterday and found an egg shell!!
Today will be the first day that I am letting them out of their
grazing cage, to roam free, I just hope they come back tonight.
