- dtgriscom 3y agoChickens apply fertilizer as they plow.
- HankB99 3y agoAs do the oxen.
- dev_tty01 3y agoI wonder how well the poop/work ratio scales between chickens and oxen?
- HankB99 3y agoOxen are herbivores which need to eat a lot more to provide the necessary nutrition and that would translate to greater volume. OTOH chickens are smaller animals with greater surface area to mass and might require more energy to maintain body temperature. I dunno.
