    Little bit of old school.

    Most of what I know about chickens, came from my grand parents.

Their chickens got all the kitchen scraps except meat or bone, along with what...

    With the cost of food and every thing else through the roof, cheaper is the way to go. I live what my friends call "Urban AMish" LOL! But my goal is a total bill out go of 200 a month, I am down to 350 so I am almost there.

    Does anyone know what the best bedding for 1 day old chicks is?

    I use newspaper the first 5 days and then pine shavings. I change the newspaper 2xs a day, only reason I use paper is it is easier ( I think) for them to start out eating, I always sprinkle a little starter around the feeder.

    Do you ever feel like calling it a day? *Just caught a dog*

    Talked to the Amish man who lives down the road, his wife boils Cayenne pepper, onion, and jalapeno peppers in water. She lets it cool, strains it and puts it in a spray bottle, she sprays around the coop every day or so. Say's it works good.
