    What chicken breed has been the most fun for you?

    I really enjoy my Silverudd’s Blue’s previously know as isbars. They are intelligent and just curious enough to get into trouble doing things they shouldn’t. Granted I did have one cockerel that developed a taste for styrofoam he was a dummy, but that’s the only one I’ve really had personal...

    ISO Isbar chicks or hatching eggs -VA

    Wabi sabi farms out of Texas sells chick and ships them. I believe they still have the first import lines. That’s where I ordered my last chicks from.

    Red Wigglers - how fast reproduce as part of feed?

    i should have said in my and world renowned earth worm expert Dr. John Reynolds opinion. Who is quoted in the article you linked. They don’t have any significant environmental impact.

    Red Wigglers - how fast reproduce as part of feed?

    I would assume your correct Eisenia fetida or what I consider red wigglers can give off a slimy substance if irritated. Tho they are not a worm that will cause significant environmental issues if accidentally released.

    I would start with a pound (1000)ish. They can double their numbers in a month and a half easily if given the proper conditions. I raise them my chicken hate them the only interest the chickens show in the worms is to roll around in the beds or pick out the occasional cricket. Red wigglers...
