hallekiefer: spolikeluzhate: purns: anthonyking: The “Hot Chicks Room” saga comes to an end. The sign will decorate a compost learning center run by Earth Matter on Governors Island. This “Hot Chicks Room” will feature a greenhouse containing chickens who, in their own way, will teach visitors about the nutrient cycle and waste-reduction practices and help create a fertile soil additive for the island.  Ms. DeDominicis of Earth Matter said the hot environment of the greenhouse was helpful for the chicks, whose bodies need to be kept at around 93 degrees for the first several weeks of their lives, and for the creation of the compost, which needs to be kept at 140 degrees for three days to kill off some organisms. “With that high temperature,” she said, “we’re making a quality product.” The UCB will not be stopped.

The “Hot Chicks Room” saga comes to an end.

The sign will decorate a compost learning center run by Earth Matter on Governors Island. This “Hot Chicks Room” will feature a greenhouse containing chickens who, in their own way, will teach visitors about the nutrient cycle and waste-reduction practices and help create a fertile soil additive for the island.

 Ms. DeDominicis of Earth Matter said the hot environment of the greenhouse was helpful for the chicks, whose bodies need to be kept at around 93 degrees for the first several weeks of their lives, and for the creation of the compost, which needs to be kept at 140 degrees for three days to kill off some organisms.

“With that high temperature,” she said, “we’re making a quality product.”

The UCB will not be stopped.

This is awesome.

This could not be more adorable.
