    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    I have a chicken question, if I may. Does anyone else have any particularly social chickies? My 3yo let the chickettes loose in the house without my knowledge. I was sitting on the couch helping my daughter with her sewing and all of a sudden I looked up to find them walking around chirping...

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Terri O, we were driving out to Cottage Grove Saturday (to get duck eggs, actually!) and the truck in front of us dropped several bales of hay but did not stop to pick them up off the beltline. We were all having to drive around them until a Sheriff finally pulled the person over. He was driving...

    Quote: Most awesome! They're about 5 mins away from me. I think I'll have to pop in and pick up a catalog while we're out doing errands today! Besides, I need to work on my seed order too. (Like I need an excuse to go to Jung's!) It's always fun to see your name in print though, isn't it?

    Congrats babylady4. Awesome news!!! Buck Creek Chickens... Jung's is a dangerous place indeed. They're just spitting distance from me! Yikes!! We're getting two new sex linked hens in the next week or so. The kids want to name them Miley and Millie.

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    Quote: Not intentionally... I came (back) around to my way of eating by necessity in an attempt to reclaim my health and basically eat the way my great grandmother ate. She lived and worked her own farm until she was well into her 90s. It wasn't until years later when I was trying to find a...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    Quote: OMG!!! I ADORE your children They are very passionate little people when it comes to food and animals. We've already ordered seeds for our garden this year. They also stole the pickled beets a friend gave me for Christmas. All bets are off when it comes to food around here. I'm going...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    Quote: Hmm... I remember Compuserve rather well... I also remember "computer rooms" where the servers had dedicated rooms... Quote: And a food budget to show for it with all the goat, lamb, rabbit, etc. in my freezer. These kids make sure I don't try to slip them "store eggs", "store...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    Quote: Seriously? There is commentary on EVERY thread! Anyway, I am trying to find soy-free food and have had no luck. Since I only have 5 ducks, I don't want to order a ton of food at a time for a custom mix. We have a Big R opening across the street in the next couple on months. I plan on...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    Well, I just started this thread asking to find help in locating soy-free, organic feed with no type of judgement or ridicule of soy, anyone's eating choices, or anyone's livelihood. I didn't "put myself out there" or request anyone else to do so. We all come from different places and I am who I...

    Quote: My friends and I make a lot of our own cheeses and swap amongst each other, but this is one blog I follow which has a lot of suggestions: http://cheeseunderground.blogspot.com/. I do, on occasion, buy cheese from Willi Lehner at Bleu Mont Dairy: http://www.cheeseforager.com/bleumont/...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    Quote: I do. Fish meal. And fresh pasture. Our egg yolks are atomic orange. YUM! That's how the eggs are that we get from our farmer who sells soy-free eggs. They're beautiful and so flavorful it's amazing. We compare them to the eggs we get from another farmer who sells pastured eggs, and...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    Quote: I hear you on the shipping. I feel fortunate to live in WI for a change... not an easy thing to do in winter. Since I don't have many chickens, the other thing I've been fortunate on is having offers from the couple of farmers who sell soy-free eggs to be able to buy feed from them in...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    There are some studies being done that directly link soy to obesity. I have kids hanging on me right now so can't get my links to the original research articles, but here's the piece from Newsweek and a quote: "Within a year of Blumberg's groundbreaking work, it became clear that altering...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    For those that might be interested, I did find out that Tropical Traditions is now selling their Cocofeed through a mill in WI. Here is their response to my email inquiry: Thank you for your interest in Tropical Traditions Cocofeed! We are now able to offer our Organic Cocofeed to customers...

    Organic, soy-free chicken feed?

    Quote: My question here predates the "why soy free" thread. FWIW, I live in the city -- not too far from the country, but in the city nonetheless. I can "barely" have the three banties I have and do score meal worms every now and then, but it's extremely difficult when you live in a frozen...
