[QUOTE="tncattle, post: 1014989, member: 5701"] If you can rotate your cattle and run chickens right behind them it works pretty well over time but I realize everyone can't do this. Chickens eat the fly larvae which obviously cuts down on flies. The chickens also scratch around the cow manure spreading it more evenly while leaving their own droppings to help fertilize the pasture. I haven't seen much a chicken won't eat. We think we lost one to quikcrete! I mixed some up for some fence post and I think one of the chickens got into it right after I poured it in the hole around the post. Don't know for sure but I guess it could have killed her. [/QUOTE]
