    elevator screenings...

    I've used oat screenings to stretch my chicken BEDDING, not my chicken feed. I'm sure that the chickens find something edible in it, but most of the screenings are oat hulls and stuff with nearly zero feed value (as well as an assortment of weed seeds!). We also use it as a feed replacement...

    Can chickens eat coffee grounds?

    I just saw bags of dried spent coffee grounds at TSC labeled as chick bedding... I was shocked, as I thought common wisdom was against this. Anyone use the stuff?

    Houdans

    When I was starting my flock (after moving back to the farm) a local-ish guy gave me a bunch of eggs. Out of the eggs, I hatched a pair of 4-toed blue crested birds and a pair of 4 toed black birds. These all had white ear lobes, and the guy I got them from called them polish, but I have...

    Houdans

    Set up my breeding pens over thanksgiving. I do flock matings, not pairs and trios because I don't have space. My Houdan pen has 4 roosters (three mottled black, one mottled chocolate) over a bunch of hens and pullets (All are blue or chocolate, some mottled, but mostly solid/self colored-...

    Fruit and Veggie Pulp question

    I recently started picking up fruit/veggie pulp from a local juice store. I get a garbage bag full every day. I find that the chickens love the green stuff (mostly kale) and the white stuff (leftovers from cashewmilk production) and they will eat some of the carrot pulp and pick through the...

    Hello all, I am aware of a small nexus of people working on Houdans currently. I won't give names. They are all in the MI or OH areas. I am one who is working with them a little on the side. I know that hatching eggs are available on this site...

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    I raise them but I don't feed them to the chickens. I also raise dubia (a type of tropical roach) and I know that they are used as chicken feed by some. Why do I have them... I sell them to folks who feed them to reptiles. I keep meaning to amp up production, but I never get around to it...

    Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have them. Picked up a trio of WC Chocolate last season. Right now I have the two hens with a WC Blue Cuckoo rooster, because I didn't like the rooster that I got. I also have some chocolates that have Houdan blood in them. Leftovers from a friend's project to create something...

    Turkey Eggs - Narragansett

    My Turkeys just started laying this week. They are Narragansett, but due to using a royal palm in the flock a couple of generations ago, every now and then a royal palm colored chick will hatch (around 10% of the poults last season were royal palm colored) Local pickup in Pierson, Michigan or...
