Hello,
I had a friend contact me wondering if I would take her hyline brown hens. Up until now I hadn't even heard of them. I've done some research on them, what does everyone on here think of them?
Fed the ferment this morning and it was a big hit. The ducks liked is probably the most. Even my week old chicks that the hens have with them gobbled it up before any of the hens could show them that it was food.
Ferment has began!
For anybody else's reference I've got 1 part(by weight) alfalfa cubes(pellets work to, either way they will absorb the water in the mix and turn to a meal), 2 parts wheat bran, 1 part whole oats(next time I will use rolled oats), and then it works out to be about 3 oz. of boss...
