My across the street neighbor used to have about 150 Chickens.  Their dropping do stink and it attracts insects.  Droppings Stink as in my side neighbor with the Cows complained about the smell.  :)

Bawk!

Err.... Bump?

My birds are back to laying as the days are getting longer, and they are looking good!

Great, another thread for me to bookmark and reference when I decide to make my own Stardew Valley-esque corner of the world.

Odd question- with that "Tractor run", could they be really good for your yard or gardens? I know they poop a lot.

In reply to GIRTHQUAKE :

Yes, composted chicken manure is a fantastic fertilizer.  And no, it's not an odd question.
