    Mineral requirements for home made feed

    Our Chickies are doing great. The laying has dropped off as it is soo very hot right now. they seem to do that when it is so hot, or so cold. But they still love the feed. Nothing is left on the ground around the feeders. And what we have changed since March is this. There is currently 2...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    EXcellent. We tried two years in a row to grow RHW wheat at the Farm and the turkeys and deer absolutely loved it. So none for us. haha

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Thank you ChristyinGa. I signed up for the Azure Cumming Delivery. I will look up Resaca sun again and see what grains they have. Not interested in Corn anymore or soy. Just things like wheat, oats, BOSS, field peas or lentl, pearled barley. I will check and see if they sell human grade...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Hey ChristyinGa. How do I find where the Drop in Cumming for Azure Standard is located? I love their stuff and prices. I tried Resaca Sun through our local feed store and they charged us big money for Non GMO organic feed. Come to find out it was not. so not really trusting of them at this...

    What is your experience with feeding Diatomaceous Earth to your chickens?

    Evening Clankeyes, I purchase Codex Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth at our local feed store. I buy it in 40# bags for $30. I use it for so many things..deworming and remineralizing Chicken's in their feed, in their dirt bath area I mix it into the soil so it doesn't easily get into their eyes...

    Rooster with odd gate...physical or neurological

    Truly less than you would think. But I split the bill with the owner of the Farm. And the Vet has not charged us for anything past the surgery as it benefits him for me to continue to bring "Foghorn" back for pictures and data for their research. I am very impressed and am sure he will make a...

    Hey, has anyone used sprouted rice for chicke feed. I just sprouted some to test germination rates, but then started thinking, "Hey Kelley, can chickens eat this too.?" I just started feeding our chooks sprouted grain mixes. And they love them...everything but the green peas. So what about...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Hey North Georgians, any one know of good places to buy bulk grains for sprouting for chicken feed? Anyone in this area making their own feeds? We are just starting now and finding it most rewarding financially, nutrition wise but time consuming keeping up with the soak/rinse/drain system.

    Rooster with odd gate...physical or neurological

    Interesting how things work out. It is now March, and what we found out by taking our handsome rooster to the only chicken vet in the area is he had gangrene in the knee of his left leg. Not Maerks. I get that as sort of a catch all for ill chickens. It had really eaten up lots of his flesh...

    Rooster with odd gate...physical or neurological

    I sent the video to our local poultry Vet who after reviewing the video, believes it is either arthritis or slipped tendon. No solution for slipped tendon, surgery wise of course, so I started him on some homeopathic remedies I put together for arthritis, along with a dog version combination of...

    Rooster with odd gate...physical or neurological

    I am surprised that no one else had had this type of issue with their Chickens. And surprised no one has responded back to my need for ideas, thoughts or comments.

    Roundworms! Question about worming and "worminator"

    We had a confirmed case of roundworm 2 months ago. and found out much after lots of research. First...Wazine has a 17 day with drawl for eggs and 21 I think for slaughter. Ended up using that as I could not find anything else at that time. During the 17 day with drawl from eggs period, I had...

    Rooster with odd gate...physical or neurological

    My rooster is walking with an odd "kicking gate". I have felt over him and found that his left leg is slightly larger than his right, and at the "knee joint" he has some fleshy, fatty nodules, but has them on both knees. Just more on the left leg. he crows and eats and hangs with the flock...

    Do all roosters leave chickens with bare backs?

    Or you can make these cool little chicken saddles out of polar fleece. No sew, and the roosters spurs just slide right off and cause way less damage. Underneath the chooks grow back feathers pretty quick and then you can take off the Chicken saddles, as the nice thick feathers act as a buffer...

    Help! Fly sticky tape on the white silkie!!!!

    Gotta say, I had a similiar thing happen with a RIR. She flew into the fly stip and it got all wrapped around her back side. Poor Baby. I had to pull it off, but the sticky wax left on her feathers worried me. I figured she would begin preening and get that sticky mess inside her crop and...
