We frequently talk about how much our chickens help with our gardening. One example: Earlier this year, when the snow was melting and all of the leaves from last fall were starting to be uncovered as the snow receded, our hens got busy doing their favorite thing: Digging and scratching through the leaf litter to find morsels to eat. That is because leaf litter is itself a diverse and interesting ecosystem of rich material, much of which is natural, healthy food for chickens.
