<pre>Hi John,
I'm very interested in the bit about your friend and his ducks. How
long after pressing did he feed it to his ducks? Did he let it dry
out? Would it just be poured out into a bowl or tipped on the ground?
Do they actually eat it all, or just have a bit of a pick through it?
I've been waiting to see if any relies came back about feeding it to
chooks, so if you have anything further on this I'd like to see it as
well.
Regards
Matt

<pre>Hi All,

I have some feedback on Chickens & the waste from the Oliomio.

We don't directly feed the waste to chickens, we spread the paste on the
ground while pressing and each year when the season ends we plough it into
the ground. We have soil that is full of clay and the pulp is doing a very
good job of making the soil more friable.

However we keep seven chickens, the cockerel is One of Seven, and the hens
are two of, three of etc. (Any Trekies will recognise the naming convention)

We let them out each day at around mid-day and their first choice is to
visit the pulp, I cant say what parts of it they eat but they certainly show
a great deal of interest. They also grow well and lay well, I cant say if
they taste well as my wife wont let us eat them.

Regards

Michael

<pre>hi there Matt
in answer to your question they basically take the load of wet "mush" outside -
tip it out on the ground and the ducks and geese charge in and eat (or should
that be gobble?) it up.

Remember this is from a small Oliomio 50 so it is basically a large bucketfull
at a time. It is basically as the big bucket fills up so it is as it comes from
the press.

I hope someone has some info re the chooks.
kind regards
John bishop
