RE: I suppose I should first explain my screw-up
That's the best answer. Our chickens look after the grass pretty well. It's pretty patchy anyhow with our projects. Our three composters and the worm bins are full right now. Just dumping in a pile until spring.
Have you looked into feeding your chickens with compost? I saw some info about it, but never had much interest in raising chickens. Maybe quale, or peacocks.
Yeah, they love picking through it for worms and bugs. It can't feed them totally, but I've seen some commercial outfits that have 100+ hens in their compost pile. In the summer, mine free range and eat all kinds of grass and critters. Last summer one stole a mouse from the cat and ate it.
