Our chicken coop has become a home to more than just rare breed Chanteclaire chickens. There are also a few critically endangered Beltsville Small White Turkeys as well as two ducklings.

The composted manure is spread on the gardens, boosting the fertility as well as microbial populations which can work symbiotically with vegetable plant growth.
