    Breeding BBW?

    You think I could use a small tom (BBW) and a hen (BBW) as long as she doesn't develop issues? Did I understand that or did you mean some other combination? Also are white holland smaller than BBW?

    Breeding BBW?

    I want to breed my own meat turkey, I know BBW can't mate naturally but I was thinking a white holland and a BBW Hen. Has anybody ever tried breeding your own meat turkey? I know I can't match the feed ratios and stuff but I hope to come close.

    Is it Possible to over ferment feed?

    I have a system in mind where the water will never be changed (Could be) but if it is only for 24 hours can feed be over fermented? I could mix excess water 50/50 with normal water to dilute it or leave it more potent? I would obviously like to have it be done on a 24 hour basis

    Fermented Feed Challenge

    if you saved the water in a 55 gallon drum and drained it a 5 gal bucket at a time that sounds like it would work, 300# fits in a 55 gallon dry when dry so it should not take up too much room and if needed you could have multiple 55 gallon drums which you could re-use the started liquid, Pretty...

    To all arguing about where extra protein goes: It is used to grow body mass, "Extra" Protein either grows muscle or Fat Tracy was exactly right "On another note, I've always heard that only a ridiculously low amount (like 30%) of nutrients in chicken feed are bio-available to the chicken...
