    Hi all. AllenK RGV did you ever get out to Loop Farms? I need to run out there soon and get some corn for the ducks. So far so good with all my girls. The new 5 have blended in with the flock nicely. One of them might end up dinner however. She is very mean. She literally comes at me...

    Sprouts anyone?

    I would spread them out in a dish so they can grow now. Great job. Lentils sprout super nice.

    Good morning, I haven't had any failures in my jars. I put in about 2T in the jar and cover it. I rinse them and add enough water to cover them. I usually let them soak for a couple hours. After they soak I drain them and put them in a dark place with the open side down so any remaining...

    Sprouts anyone?

    Mine have no grass and I can't let them free range with all the predators here. Friday there were two huskies that got loose from somewhere and killed three of my neighbors chickens. Not worth the risk. I do my best to make sure they have a variety of things to eat. I picked up some logs...

    Sprouts anyone?
