    Congrats on your new chicks! I bought 49 chicks from Luanne for myself and a friend 19 weeks ago. Picked them up in person. Can attest to the fact that her breeding stock is healthy and well cared for. After rehoming or butchering the roosters, I have 19 healthy hens. 2 blue copper marans, 3...

    Growing fodder for chickens

    Funny thing is that he wanted to switch completely to fodder to save on food costs over commercial feed because of the cost savings claims. We have talked through how it can reduce commercial food cost by displacing some of it. Cost is a big driver since he owns a poultry butchering business...
