Alright, Bee.... C'mon back real soon, please...

X2 Wonderful woman ! :hugs

Don't worry about people getting upset. If they have a question and someone on here takes the time to answer it then that's great. If the individual asking the question needs to read back some pages to find the answer and gets upset about it, I say oh well. Too bad for them, they can either...

Thanks for the info :)

Excellent idea with the sod ! No better way to help the lil fluffer butts produce some good anti-bodies ! Thanks again for your help, Bee ! :hugs

Thanks, Bee. I'm hoping to get chick stater (non-medicated) but I'm not sure that the local feed store even sells any non-medicated chick starter. I'm going to have to look into it. My old flock has been sold and the chicks will take up residence in the coop formerly occupied by my old...

Ok folks.. I need a little advice; this is the first time since I started doing FF that I will have chicks. I'm wondering what ya'll ferment for your chicks ? I'm not sure that I want to use medicated chick starter, but is that what folks are fermenting for their youngin's or is there another...

:gig :lau

Whatever feed you add to the old fermented stuff will be inoculated by the ferment you already have going. It's always good to keep some ff in the bucket and add to it, gives the new feed a good start by already being inoculated.

I live in Nova Scotia and never thought about using seaweed to add to my FF. Given it is so readily available to me on the shoreline I may grab some, dry it, blend it up and add it to the FF once in awhile. Thanks for a great suggestion ! :)

Congrats, KP! It's a great feeling !

That's it !! I'm moving to Arizona !

No need to keep that great lyrical revision so secret on another thread... Share the love here as well ! :D

Now, Bee... Don't snuggle too close to that bucket "in your bed"... What if it happens to burp and an explosion ensues ? LOL :gig :gig :lau Sorry, Bee... Couldn't resist !!

Your FF bucket looks like mine ! I'm mixing the exact same thing, layer mash, barely and BOSS :). My barely is crushed, not steamed though. Love the cooler setup, Bee. Hope you and all the other Americans on here have a wonderful Thanksgiving... God Bless !

Ok, I haven't managed to get my utility bills that low ! How did ya manage to get away so cheap ? Do tell your secret lol !

I hear ya on that Rose ! My wife wanted nothing to do with the chickens and now that they have started laying she is out there collecting the eggs lol !

I couldn't agree more about being frugal. We purchased the home we are in now last year and since then I have installed all new CFL light bulbs, I also put power strips on everything so when it's not in use it gets shutdown completely. Put all new insulation in the attic and just installed a...

I just love reading your plans, Bee. At some point I'd like to start doing some culling, perhaps in a few years, in order to make better stock for egg laying and meat, etc. I always read your posts on how you do it in order to acquire and maintain a tip-top flock :)

I've been saving egg cartons for over a year now ! I have a bunch of friends and neighbours that I can sell my eggs too ! Finally going to see a little return on these birds.. Hopefully make enough to cover feed costs and that's all I ask :)
