    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Honestly, I'm going to have to look over everything you are giving your birds, mull it over a bit, then make some recommendations. Having an egg stuck internally can happen to any chicken - there are a bunch of potential causes, but the high production breeds - leghorns, RIRs, NHRs, and the...

    Perennial Grass Options for Poultry Forage Lawn in the Southeast?

    Apart from talking to your extension office as others recommended above (and I am going to recommend it too), from experience ( I am also Zone 8a, FL Panhandle / Wiregrass region) I can tell you that fescue toxicity is a bit overblown. Clovers are excellent choices - I planted several varieties...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Math. I do Math. Lots of Math. Yet another service I provide BYC After a shower. I was on the tractor earlier moving tons of gravel. and yes, I think you are too fixated on calcium - chances are they are getting too much calcium, which is why they are avoiding discrete Ca sources like egg...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    3,000-4,500 iu / kg. A little shy 4,000 iu/kg is probably the "sweet spot" for most adult birds laying birds in most circumstances. 1 mg of Vitamin D3 is equal to 40,000 IU. and I'll recheck the label before doing the math. Seeing 0.01 mg per mg just isn't the way things are normally...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Which brand? which feed, specifically. good chance I can look up the label on my own. A well made Layer should provide all the Ca those birds, at those ages, should need.

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    these are the right questions, and the right thoughts to get started. Yes, chickens and other mammals metabolize D vitamins w/ the input of sunlight. However, production chicken breeds in their prime years probably can't make enough D3 - the D vitamin specific to Ca absorption and metabolism...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Let's start w/ What are you feeding your birds, and how old are they? Nothing in Nature uses Calcium to exclusion. Yes, Calcium imbalances can cause a lot of problems. Calcium uptake is affected by acidity, its se in in conjunction w/ Phosphorus (the Ca : P ratio is VERY important) and...

    Is purina feed okay?

    But people w/ no prior posting history, making drive by unfalsifiable allegations against one maker or another, usually mid winter, typically followed quickly by claims off reduced rate of lay, and yet another explosion of conspiracies on FaceBook and other social media? Those we are familiar...

    Agree on the Black Silk. That's how I take mine as well. Sometimes with a bit of sugar. Depends on the day. Their quality has been inconsistent the last few years. I should probably learn to read their milling/roasting dates.

    ...off the tuna for tataki. All the prep is finally done. I'm going to have a glass of sake to celebrate and go silent, so you don't listen to me *B!+__!ng* about my back for the rest of the evening. Counters are too low in the RV. Maybe roll sushi at the office desk, its too high - but has...

    I've had oysters many times. Always VERY hungry. They are pretty much bottom of options for me. Eel at least, makes sense. Its just a different sort of "fish", and people had been smoking and eating fish for a long time. Not so much a feast as a lot of options, so we don't need to cook as...

    Success!!! Tuna tataki, tuna rolls, Kalifornia roll, spicy Krab rolls, tuna & avocado roll, maybe tuna poke. Wish we could get sushi grade salmon and unagi (bar b q eel) without having to put in a massive order and getting it shipped. [Yes, sale on tuna at the grocery store - a very good sale]

    Back from the grocery, was going to roll some sushi. Out of tuna steaks. :( Smoking some other tuna (already in the brine) to make smoked fish dip for bagels. Focaccia is on first rise for party bread (basically focaccia + cubes of smoked ham, pepperoni, cheese, other "stuff" [in this case...
