Jason and I have long ago accepted we would not have a normal, bourgeois yard ala the 1950s once we let chickens into our lives. It’s usually a race against time whether the grass grows back before the coop has to be placed over it again – we have a super-small yard. But apparently, one Australian farmer has made the chicken cycle of life (including fertilizer) work for him.
Thanks to Guy Kawasaki for sending this one around. It gave us ideas!
