Pigeon Soil from Spain

I believe it is pumice.

Found it at my local urban feedstore, where I haven't been since going there years back looking for pumice, drystall.

Even today they said they didn't have pumice.

Researching Chickens for an urban coop. Were allowed 2 and have consent forms in the hands of the neighbors.

My daughters project. I made her research all the way down to vent cleaning. (Poophole)

We will likely get a pair of Barred Rock hens.

Unless someone recommends others.

Saw the "chicks" sign on the way to my Basic Rider Course this weekend.
Which I passed with perfect scores riding and written! And I was scraping my pegs at lunch on my bike! Gettin it!

Anyway.

Feel free to speak of soil birds bunnies and bikes.





I'm listening!

Size is similar to DE in overall and variation.

interesting. Are you planning to try it for bonsai too?

Out here, poultry grit is crushed and graded granite.

I was talking to a granite supplier about buying in bulk, and she had all the information for me. I don't have it at hand, but for bonsai purposes we would be looking at "turkey grit" because it is larger size than the chicken grit. There are (if my memory serves) two different grades of turkey grit.

I know nothing of chickens, except this chicken looks rather awesome and if she were mine, I would name her Schmitty Muldoon.

#3 turkey grit is a great size, i find #2 a bit on the small side for most of my trees.

I used to work on a few chicken breeding projects for the university. There are chickens around with blue feet and green eggs. Awesome.
If yours ever turn up to have some of those traits, you're rich.

I have a few Americanas. They have green legs and lay blue eggs and are entertaining hens. We have Cookoo Marans, and California Greys as well. All good backyard chickens. All absolutely horrible for bonsai.

All I know is my niece had a red hen she named Lucy. She would sleep with it.

Couple of the luckiest Hens on Earth, Charlette and Amy have hand crafted ceramic food dishes, as made by their respective caretakers. My littlest 2.


They only had these Golden Laced Wyandottes, no more barred rock's, not too different carewise, coldhardy.

You should like the Wyandottes. We have a few. They are nice and calm. Less destructive to bonsai than rocks.

"Pigeon soil" has been a source of fertilizer for ages around the Mediterranean Sea.

For instance, in Cappadocia, they would carve cliffs not only for dwellings, but very often for the pigeons to nest. After afew years, they would climb up the cliff, and gather years of pigeons droppings...



Brought young people, met very nice people there.
