Hens scratching around in fresh compost for grubs

Uploaded on 18 Nov 2009

Verline and Gemma having fun. Not sure what they are getting, the small white things, perhaps fly larvae or ant grubs. This compost is drying out, then I will remow it together with some grass clippings. It will heat up to about 160 F in a half day. Might remow it once or twice more, with more leaves, then put it on the garden. The compost runs out of nitrogen and water, needs to be rejuvenated.
