Poultry Powered Compost Conveyor -P2C2

Originally inspired by Geoff Lawton's "Chicken Tractor on Steroids," the P2C2 uses chickens natural digging and scratching instincts to reduce the amount of work necessary to turn compost piles. A new pile is built each week, and the chickens dig and scratch through any given compost pile for 4 weeks, after which the electro-net fencing is moved such that the 4 week old pile goes outside of chicken influence. There the pile sits for another week before it's declared finished compost.

This system reduces chicken feed costs, thereby reducing egg production costs, gives the chickens endless entertainment and opportunities for dust bathing, and produces massive amounts of compost and humus which can be used to improve the soil quality of your homestead.
