The Howell Farm chicken house is not generally known as a monument to cleanliness. (It is, after all, a chicken house.) But today, after it’s yearly scrubbing and bleaching, it’s looking considerably cleaner than my apartment. This won’t last long. The chicks that arrived in the spring are now full-fledged chickens, and they’ll be moved into their new home sometime this week.
Farmer Ian spread the chicken's potent, nitrogen-filled manure across the farm fields this morning, another contribution the chickens make to the farm beyond their nutritious eggs.
