    Cornish Crosses how to keep them full?

    Supplement with kelp. It helps convert the feed more efficiently so they eat less food, because their bodies need less. I have heard that you can use 2-5 % in with your pellets/crumbles, and some people just put it in a container and let the chickens decide how much they need.

    What I did for Earth Day....

    Quote: Amen and Amen!!!! (does that count, Mahonri?) I just listened to a scientist who was explaining that we've been in the cooling stage of "global warming" for the last 12 years, and the "global warming" years that everybody called "global warming" before they started calling it "climate...

    Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinager

    Quote: Buy or make some apple juice, or apple cider. Put it in a jar, and put the slimey transluscent mother on top (it may float or sink, that's o.k.) and secure the top of the jar with a coffee filter and a rubberband. After several days, (depending on the temperature in your kitchen, the...

    Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinager

    Quote: You should be able to get raw ACV at a store. Usually the nutrition section, or perhaps a health food store as a last resort. Braggs has the mother in it as does Spectrum. Any brand that says that it is raw, unfiltered ACV with the mother in it. ( if it says it is raw, and unfiltered...

    Height for Coturnix Pens

    Here is a picture of our set up. I think that there is only about 10 inches in height for space. Edited to add: We use linoleum on the floor, and the cage has to be cleaned out at least once a week.

    HELP!!! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HARD COOK QUAIL EGGS!!!

    Quote: I also boil our quail eggs this way with just a couple of changes: I boil them for only 5 minutes because they are small. Boiling them by this method that we are talking about doesn't allow the grey ugly and yucky tasting edge to form around the yolk. I also add ice cubes to my cold...

    Feet picture...mites?

    Quote: I have recently found that yes feather pecking can be caused by mites. I always just thought it was a lack of protein, but have found that it is not always a lack of protein. They seem to know when another chicken has mites, and they will peck at the feathers to get at the mites...

    Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinager

    Quote: You are correct in that it will help with food poisoning. Whenever I get a tummy ache, I also take an apple cider "cocktail" and if my tummy ache is caused by something i ate, it gets rid of it in no time. Raw apple cider vinegar also gets rid of e.coli, as does raw milk. It is...

    Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinager

    Quote: Works great for gout as well, since gout is caused by a lack of calcium, and vinegar helps you assimilate calcium, it takes away the pain, and heals the gout right up. Whenever my knee starts acting up from arthritis, I take extra calcium (calcium lactate) and a raw apple cider vinegar...

    Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinager

    Quote: The mother is the slimey opaque stuff in the bottle that produces the next batch of vinegar. You need to have a "mother" to produce what is called real vinegar. It will produce a baby on the top of the mother which can either be kept with the mother to produce the next batch, or you...

    Question concerning feed mix for laying flock

    Quote: The only word of caution I would mention about bales of afalfa is that some have reported problems with their chickens getting impacted crop from using the bales. Obviously though, some do use it and are very pleased with it. I pay $16.00 for a 50 lb. bag of the alfalfa pellets from...
