    Red Ranger- Fermented Feed & Fodder Experiment

    The chicks took and extra day to ship, so we have had a few losses. And I’ve got a sick kiddo, sorry for no updates yet. I was adding some beet pulp pellets (to get it used up, because I had no use for them) to the fermented feed- and got kahm yeast. So, I am working on getting that fed out...

    The bike ride would be perfect if you can get him to do it. We take ours out with the pickup, let them out and drive while they run behind us.

    Feeling Very Guilty...Need Advice

    Yeah, pit bulls are hit and miss, but that border collie in him is where he is getting his chase drive from. Can you roller skate with him or put him on a treadmill? 🤔

    Feeling Very Guilty...Need Advice

    Sorry 💔 Border collies have high “chase” drive. They’re a working dog, and you (very likely) will never be able to trust it around your flock unsupervised as they free range. My advice would be to take the dog for a several mile run before introducing it. Also, look into positive reinforcement...

    We ordered 125 male red ranger chicks from Freedom Ranger Hatchery, Inc and received 128 today (June 18, 2020). ALL alive and well. Chicks were shipped a day earlier than expected- so we did a little moving around of the older chicks. I want to use this thread to document the progress, but...

    Neighbor's chicken... Egg bound?

    Hi, I was at our neighbor's today and they asked me about an egg bound chicken. They said she laid around for a day and a half and finally had the egg. But now- she won't get up. I felt externally and couldn't feel another egg. This is my first time dealing with a situation like this. I told...

    Wanting to mix our own feed. Help, please ☺️

    We just ordered 50 Cornish X online. I am researching feed costs and trying to keep them as low as possible. We are raising and butchering our own to help save our family money (and to k ow where our food is coming from and how it's raised). If we are spending a ridiculous amount in commercial...

    Mealworm farming

    Hey guys! A neighbor gave me a plastic shoe box of mealworms, pupa, and beetles. I am WAY NEW!! I am wondering if there's an infestation of another type of bug or if I missed a life stage while researching. I noticed them when I was separating the stages. They crawl. I took a picture of one next...
