Building a back yard Ecosystem for Feeding the Family without Chemicals!

What happens here

Transport the full electric wheelbarrow of weeds from the garden beds to the chicken run. Open the gate to the chicken run and dump the collected weeds inside. The chickens will then consume the weeds, effectively turning them into 'butt fertilizer' (chicken manure) for future use in the garden.

Goal: Recycle garden weeds as feed for chickens
