How I learned to stop cleaning chicken houses and love the deep bedding

Greetings!

Shad here – founder of the Composting Chickens Real Time Composting System, the ultimate system for keeping happy and healthy backyard chickens.

I have been homesteading for over 15 years, and I have had my share of problems that come with keeping chickens. I’ll tell you a story.

When I first started, I desperately wanted to get chickens on my homestead. Having no experience, I went to my trusty homesteading library and my best friend google. It seemed that everything was saying the same thing: “Build a small coop, and enclose an area where the chickens can free range.” So that’s exactly what I did.

What all those books and the grand old internet did not mention was what happens when your chickens actually begin ‘free ranging’.

For the first couple weeks, everything was great.

The chickens went out each morning, and then scratched and foraged, looking for all of their favorite treats. They found the tastiest bugs and the most juicy and delectable plants and they feasted!

All was well in the world of my chickens.

But what happened over time? Each morning, the chickens woke up and went out to eat their favorite plants and bugs. After so many days, they had trouble finding their favorite foods and were forced to eat things that are less palatable.

At the same time, their favorite plants and bugs began to grow back, albeit quite slowly. The moment these favorite foods popped up, the chickens mowed them down, once again finding themselves without access to their favorite foods.

Over time, the chickens actually shifted the composition of plant and insect species on the land, TOWARDS THINGS THEY DON’T LIKE TO EAT!!!

This is the big idea that most free range chicken systems fail to acknowledge. The chickens eventually shift the balance of plants towards species they do not like to eat.

The chickens were no longer finding all the goodies they used to. They were scratching more and finding less. All the while they were pooping, but there were less and less plants and insects to utilize that manure and convert it into living plants and soil.

Over time, we ended up with the classic chicken yard. A dusty (or muddy) area that smelled awful and looked even worse. The buildup of manure acidified our soil and led to a toxic accumulation of nitrogen. Pathogens started to breed and multiply, as there is no active decay to help break their lifecycle.

All at once, the land and the chickens started to get sick. This was my first experience with backyard chickens. At the end, I sold the remaining hens were not sick, and planted cover crops to set about regenerating the land, making up for all of the damage that was done.

The facts are clear. Without rest, free range systems lead to sick chickens and toxic land. Furthermore, the free range area does not even provide the benefit of additional nutrition, as all the plants that chickens eat have long been destroyed by the very chickens that like those plants.



And then one day it hit me, a compost pile is an awesome ecosystem and it can be the absolute perfect ‘range’ for chickens!!! Per square meter, a compost pile cycles nutrients and creates more habitat than any other ecosystem. And thats when I came up with the Deep Bedding System for Chickens!

The Deep Bedding Composting Chicken System enables chickens to live on top of a deep, hot compost pile, which in itself is a very healthy ecosystem with an active decay cycle. The chickens find bugs, plants, seeds, and all kinds of other juicy treats right in the pile. And they help the composting process as they turn the pile in search of good food at the deeper levels.

This system leads to a healthy chicken house with no bad smells, that not only produces eggs, but also loads of deep, black compost for the garden.

“On only 2m x 2m, you can get yourself 8 hens and produce over 2000 eggs and over 5 cubic meters of compost every year!”
