I've also considered acorns after leaching as another protein source. There's some deer feed that's entirely ground Acorn but I don't think it's been leached. Definitely wouldn't be used as heavily as sweet potato but would definitely be beneficial to some extent.
I could also just make a...
So I've been considering making feed to sell locally in the far flung future and I just don't understand all the big chemical and additive names. I've done a small amount of research on some replacement foods and I've seen people in Asia making their own feed with plants.
Boiled and dehydrated...
I'm planning on building some stag pens soon to house the roosters I currently have that I don't want to breed. Just doing 2 for now to house Bruce and possibly Cassandra along with the chicks as a grow out pen. Then 2 more to further house the roosters since there's 5 of the new boys.
I'll post...
Was looking into the bald eagle project again and I found this old post. Not sure if this breeding would work or not but I suppose it's worth a try in the future. I just wonder how I could get the choclate color instead of the Buff.
I suppose I might have to breed the finished white Buff white...
Maybe it's with age then. Do you remember how old yours was when she got it? I feel like this might be the first year for my girl to have it. She's like 3 years old now.

I'm already busy with a breeding project right now but maybe I can breed her...
So my EE cross that I've had for 3 years or so has a weird hairdew. She has the beard and muffs like typical EE's but also the feathers at the sides of the base of her skull curl and slick back like a greasers hairstyle.
Her father is a Golden duckwing pheonix x Golden Comet cross and her...
My chicks are a little over a week old now and one of the females is worrying me with her breathing. It's very heavy compared to her siblings.
She acts pretty normal but also maybe a bit subdued compared to the others. The last few waterers full I've added some electrolytes but today I added a...
