Instructions on how to post a photo. First, you need to load your photos onto a website. The most common site people use is PhotoBucket but there are plenty of other free sites around.
Once you've registered and uploaded your photos, if you're using Photo Bucket, find the picture you want to post. Under the photos are 3 boxes with addresses in them. Copy the address in the bottom box (IMG) and come back here and open a new (or existing) message and copy that address into the main window where you type your message. This 'code' is the same one you'd find in the EBCode legend at the bottom of the page. To add more than one photo, repeat the above steps. Only put one address per line.
Remember, if you are buying or selling stock, add your location and email address to your message so people know where you are!

I think the composting is necessary for large amounts of manure from chooks on a high protein diet (like the factory hens)
I have a couple of cages that fit over my vegie beds,and when I want the beds cleared, I put the cage over the bed, add chooks for 2-3 weeks, then when the bed is clear, I move the chooks to the next one, or let them roam. I then plant the next crop, and put the cage back for a few weeks until the seedlings are big enough to cope on their own.
I've never had any problem with plants getting burnt except when one of my roosters and two hens (bantam) decided to sleep in a tree above the agapanthus, and after a solid month of copious droppings every night, one side of the plant was badly burnt. That's what prompted me to fetch out the ladder and get them down and back into a cage, but that was really concentrated and heavy as they sat in exactly the same spot for the whole month.
