    Food Scraps?

    Its a classic story of a government looking like they're doing something when really its just an inconvenience on the local farmer. Those companies selling the scavenged bone meal will still sell it. However the government gets to be all busybody chasing down the local guy who isn't buying big...

    Food Scraps?

    Remember if they are young they need to be coaxed into new things. Finger peck at the food until they try it, after that their tongue will tell them if its good. Usually mama pecks at things and they follow along. Also where in Hawaii? I lived in Kailua / Kaneohe for a few years.

    Food Scraps?

Everything goes to them and they make the best tasting eggs you have ever had from those leftovers. We were even partial to asking people in restaurants if we could take their leftovers. We had a...

    Ayam Cemani

    One last comment, For all your efforts I do hope you success, and believe that people can make a wonderful and unique breed. However how would you feel if someone tried to sell you "Real American Cheese" that was made in China, colored blue and tasted like shrimp? The real issue is the name...

    Ayam Cemani

    "occasionally by accident produce a specimen worth keeping and breeding" If that's what you want than go for it because that's the popular definition of the breed now. It sounds like after years of culling that's all you get: occasional by accident black chickens. If I'm wrong then so be it...

    Ayam Cemani

    I'm not trying to "bash your efforts" I'm telling you some simple facts about the birds that no one wants to hear. 1. The pollution of genetics and the difficulty of removing it is exactly what makes a real Ayam Cemani (and other sustainable fibro birds) so precious. These are not cull to...

    Little Coop in the Big City

    Houdans

    Roos can be just as sweet, once they learn who the boss is. My boy would sleep on my shoulder (just like when he was a chick) if he could sneak inside. He had quite the attitude, but calmed down quick after his growth spurt and he got used to the Roo Juice. Flipping him upside down and carrying...
