So hang on for a few minutes folks I am going to run out and feed real quick then I'm back.

I get my duck & geese meat from the birds I hunt and kill, I am a big waterfowl hunter. I do only use the puddle duck group for jerky as the divers are just way to rank to jerk out. It's a cool thing me and the guy's have when we are in the blinds cold and freezing shivering our tails off we...

Well MC as I said sometime ago I custom mix my feed, i use several different things but it's mainly just a few different types of commercial feeds dpending on what I am doing and then several different grain seeds. I try to buy animal based protien feed but can't hardly find it in what I like...

I don't have a green egg, I hear they are pretty cool. I just have regular smokers, I mainly do my jerky in dehydraters though, beef and an all time favorite of mine is duck and goose jerky, you should try it............ awesome.

Another one of the more common reasons for the birds feather picking each other is their internal body mechanism's need for a certain nutrient such as animal protien derived from the most available source................. chicken feathers. It's kind of like when your house dog eat's fresh green...

LOL chickens cooking for themselfs.................. good one. IMO the jury is out for me on GMO's, too much misinformation at this point. Supplementing their feed with table scraps is helpful in the way of limiting commercial feeds to an extent. I could get cancer from a zillion things we buy...

LOL I just saw a thread dedicated to actualy cooking herbal healing stuff for your chickens, kinda like a bunch of folks sitting around meditation chanting and holding insence over their birds. I am just amazed at some of this gobiley goop ways to care for chickens, I just wanted to share it...

Well with all the feed mills switching almost entirely to plant based protiens the birds are suffering, the veggie heads tend to think of their chicken bodies as their own human bodies and feed them as they do themselfs. This is a very bad thing because chickens are different but the huggers...

When we finish dinner and go to scrape plates we do it in a special big pot, and then the next day or so when I go to chore the birds I take it out there and scoop some into each pen's feeder, swishing it around with the feed so they don't just eat the good stuff but the feed as well.

Salt in the amounts that were talking about isn't that big of an issue when you consider how many birds your feeding. Top dressing just enough to change the color of the feed. It works best when utilized feed in pellet form. Crumbles if done too much will become gumy if they don't consume it all...

Maven : Yeah this little trick is well worth the little effort, the birds not only look good but act better as well, it has more far reaching effects than just good feather condition doesn't it. I do this with my horses as well and they shed their winter coats early and just shine away. Animal...

LOL thanks D ........... laughing sharp knife ............ I like that sorry It's my way. It's my way of bringing chicken raising an animal husbandry back from the brink of everything being so cutesy tootsey and fluffy this and that. I like to believe their might be 1 or 2 people out there who...

LOL really pink Pink !!!!! can you tell who their target buyer is LOL. They all look little toy's, another example of how fluffy the chicken market has become. I would however think of using them as Christmas tree Ornaments LOL.

No I don't think what your doing is too much per sey, but your certainly doing a good thing with top dressing, Glad it's working for you. After awhile I would just check their physical condition IE feather & skin quality, combs/wattles and of course body condition. If they get plenty of time...

I wouldn't have a problem buying a good used bator, and I wouldn't worry about contamination because they make these things called cleaning supplies I am told do a good job disinfecting them LOL. Just make sure everything works that's the most important thing.
