    Finding more extensive scratch feed - organic bulk?

    I am trying to find a more multi grain scratch feed for my chickens, that is organic. I used to feed my pasture roaming chickens organic feeds, but didn't like the fact that it all contained artificial vitamin D. I could also not verify if the fish meal, in the feeds, did not come from farm...

    Duck not eating, stunting growth!

    Quote: 6-7 weeks, give or take, since I got them already hatched. ... Quote: No, they have seemed to not need it for a while. I guess around the 3rd -4th week I let them out and left them under a cage. More and more I let them roam, and they naturally made it to the water and by that...

    Neglected duck...

    I was recently given a duck, that came with some problems from neglect. Appearently it was given to a teen from a future farmers of america thing and fed it nothing but bread and left it to sit in it's own feces. Needless to say it developed ulcers on it's legs, one becoming infected. He also...

    Salutations

    Hello all, I was introduced to this site by a friend who has fallen in love with harvesting eggs from a home grown flock. Indeed, both him and my second job at an organic farmer's market, have inspired me to start raising various meat birds. Nothing of what I have tasted, commercially, compares...
