No chickens, but I gather this is good news... I initially started a compost bin with an old rubbermaid black plastic trash can with a lid, I drilled holes in rows down the sides and started throwing coffee grounds and filters, used tea bags, shredded newspaper, pulped cardboard, all vegetable kitchen scraps then a few months later I saw those and now I can actually just hear them in the can. I'm guessing they won't eat the paper even if soiled with food?
