Nothing this morning! There should lots of cruising bucks this week though. Hoping to connect with one

Good morning. Out deer #hunting this morning. Ever seen a foggy rainbow? Beautiful. Have a great day y'all.

Yeah. My soil is typically low on n, k, mg, s. I calculate mineral prescriptions and add accordingly. Also I make about 4 cubic yards of composted manure, mostly rabbit, to garden beds. There is a fair amount of peat mixed into the compost from spent microgreens trays

Attempting the sauerkraut. The #garden is pumping out cabbages.

Maybe I'm wrong but as long as the compost is not soaking wet, there will plenty of oxygen in it. The soil in the ground is half air by volume assuming it is not compacted. It would seem difficult cut off the oxygen to a compost pile...

Yes food makes a huge difference. Corn will increase yellow intensity but also access to fresh vegetation like grass and a varied diet is likely best. Another thing I think is a big factor is the frequency of laying. This interacts with diet too. Hybrid layers produce more eggs then heritage breeds but often these eggs are less nutrient dense on average. If you think about it, it just makes plain sense. You can't have a chicken that produces huge amounts of meat and quality eggs at the same time...
