    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    I dump fermented feed straight into the pan, grain gets gobbled before it freezes. they have pellets on very cold days at all times, so no one goes hungry, and they have water and they eat snow.

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    acv is for getting rid of algi and digestion health, oregano is antiseptic and so on. at this time of year they do not have herbs they can pick and choose growing. People who do not want crd use it. Oregano is mixed into acv, not difficult. tbsp per gallon is easy, and my waterers never grow...

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    Also birds free range now when we a re around, they used to daily all day, but we got predator attack somewhat recently and some injuries (wounds and such... it is what it is...) and then several hens went into molt right after that, so injured ones and molting ones are more vulnerable, and the...

    try to answer: > You could sprout your whole grains before fermenting for added nutrient values. Which leads me to a question.... are your whole grains sprouting inside your ferment as I have read they will? no, if I want to sprout I do it differently >Why avoid corn and then possibly add soy...

    Just did some reading in that post, very interesting. After 2 days I got mold on boss. 2 buckets I use because my neighbor does and never got any mold, same boss source I think. 2 buckets I can do because I can drain the liquid, dump it my by feeding bowl on site and tada. When drained it also...

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    Searched for boos and mold in the thread, did not find the answer, so maybe just a wrong search criteria. Couple of batched of fermented grains got mold on top (not east, green mold) side by side, so must be something not quite right. It happens because boss (black oil sunflower seed) stays on...

    top hen does no do most damage. it's the middle and bottom hens that do the damage most to little's. often bottom hen is the one that has no end of picking on new ones. 2-3 weeks chicken wire separation. then try.

    One of my roosters is preparing himself for rooster jail/freezer camp. Chasing kid or jumping me is a no-no thing kind of an offense... He is the head rooster. His brother turned out to be a no good with kids punk and heading for freezer camp in the other household most likely... Too bad they...

    we use wood chips. works just fine. I rake it pit once in a while and put old stuff around my trees and new stuff goes it. Do it every several month. Mine free range, so do not do it very often as they like to run about...

    Hugs. We dialed with the skunk in my chicken house just the other week. Thankfully was a small one and offloaded it seemed... I managed to close chicken door when the critter was out. No damages. It was just at dawn... they not used to be out that early... Then we did drive him out of the pen...

    There is always one top rooster. only one. next in line will challenge to take his place. So you see sort of preventative measures

    PugNChicks, they will be fine. 3-4 hens can be a good amount, many heritage breeds will not lay egg a day all the time, americanas can go as egg every other day, so 4 chickens can give you 2-4 eggs a day, and then you can freeze those eggs for times when you need them. extras you can sell to...
