Living Garbage Disposals

Our four chickens are getting so big! It is hard to believe they were once the snugly little peepers that they were. I'm sure my parents say the same thing about me.

Having chickens has been even easier than we thought it would be, and we'd heard it was pretty easy. One of the things I love most about having chickens is the fact that they eat all of our table scraps. Just about anything we eat - they eat! Some of their favorites these days...cream cheese, edamame, carrot peels, and apple cores.

We've been very diligent about saving our compost to give to the chickens and not only does it benefit them to eat a variety of foods (their eggs will taste better), but it also reduces the amount of chicken feed they will eat.  I just love the idea of not wasting anything.
