    Texas Natural Feeds

    we get a few thin shelled a day as well out of a couple of hundred. But no more than we were getting before. I will however take better note of this. As long as I supplement with shell, I don't have a problem. But then I have always had to supplement. Thanks

    Texas Natural Feeds

    I started using this feed to get away from the GMO's and Soy as well as medication. I was buying it from the Austin Area and because I liked it so well and the birds responded the same, I decided to become a feed dealer. I only sell Texas Natural Feeds and Coyote Creek Feeds. None of the...

    Growing fodder for chickens

    That is correct. Top to the bottom trays. The bottom trays don't seem to fill out (or root) as well as the top trays. I will have to work on that. But I do believe rinsing with fresh water for not long with often times does help reduce the mold. I to like the person in florida live in a very...

    Actually, by my calculations, that would be about 1/4 - 1/8 lb of fodder per bird per day.

    Growing fodder for chickens

    6 lbs per tray, for this size. It fills up the tray about 1/2 to 1 inch high. Not saying that is the correct amount. I am still experiementing. Any suggestions or experimentation results would be greatly appreciated.

    Growing fodder for chickens

    Here are more pics of my fodder system. Thanks for the interest. I do notice the birds are heathier, better hatch rates for my hatchery and the eggs (so I am told by my customers) are smoother and creamier.
