About the greenhouse heated by chickens: are you referring to their body heat? I imagine it smells real swell in a warm greenhouse with chickens and…well…chicken poop wafting in the air :) And how do you keep the chickens out of the growing food in the greenhouse? My experience with chickens is that they eat every kind of food, growing, cooked or spoiled, they don’t care.

I have heard of you gals, I would like to come to a meeting. I just started a farm so to speak. I live just outside of Bozeman.

I just heard of you gals and guys. I would like to attend your next meeting. My husband and I have sheep(5) and I process our wool for quilt batting. We also raise natural lamb-no addatives or hormones for meat. I will look forward to learning more about your group.
