    How do you reduce feed waste?

    Can you post a pic of the "spokes" for me. I have a couple of PVC feeders that I just built but they are still wasting a lot of food 3 days out of the week. I want something I can fit to my situation and pics help the 'engineering process'! Thanks

    Growing fodder for chickens

    How thick of a layer of seed do you put in the flat? I have everything I need and actually am soaking some BOSS tonight. I was just going to give them the sprouts, but your longer growing time seems to make something better.

    Barn paint

    I mixed 50/50 thompsons water sealer with a decent grade stain. This is the same thing my brother in law used 25 years ago to paint the playhouse that he built for my niece. Her kids are still playing in it today and it has never be repainted. There is no wood rot that I can find either.

    Chickens and Gardens

    Don't know if this will work, but I saw a post on a friends blog that she covered the rows of plants with wire and let the chickens have access to the area between to weed the garden for her. Just a thought if the plants are in rows.

    Newb to the forum!

    Been lurking for a while. Finally took the time to join as I am sure I will have plenty of questions in the future. Was around broilers when I was a kid. (Don't ask how many decades ago that was!) Now I have layers. I had 6 Rhode Island Red crosses last year and got rid of them for the winter...
