    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    We've Been feeding fermented to the chickens ducks and geese for almost a year now and they still love it. Originally had a few 3 gallon buckets going but had to upgrade to the 30 gallon trash can. Doesn't have to be full just about half way so we have room in there for expansion. The winter is...

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    Yeah the summer this year is going to be hot. Not looking forward to it at all... Yes, I stirred the FF all three days, but it might have been the added heatwave and the fact that I covered it with a plastic bag, almost like getting into the car on a hot summer day, only shady. I was reading...

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    So I just started fermenting. although I'm not sure if I'm doing it right (splash of apple cider vin with the mother, about 1/3 bucket of feed mixed with some scratch grain, and fill with water about 3 inches past the food level). I've been giving it to the whole flock (consisting of 12 ducks...

    dead mouse in feed

    not too sure. I'm still on botulism, but the rest of the flock has seemed fine so far. and i separated her from the rest for almost 3 days before she ended up dying. I thought botulism was usually fast acting? oh I almost forgot to mention, that she was bleeding slowly out her vent. I checked if...

    dead mouse in feed

    my feed is in a large tote about 3' x 2' in my garage about 3" off the ground on a pallet. I always put the cover on it as well. The cover has those handles that will snap it down. Don't if that helps... I also have mice traps through the garage and haven't caught one since I moved into the...

    dead mouse in feed

    So I just found a dead mouse at the bottom of my feed. a couple of days ago, I had a chicken that died after not eating and not drinking, didn't seem egg bound. Am I crazy to think these two things might be related? I'm tossing out the rest of the feed and bringing it up to the feed store I...

    American(Buff, Blue, Lavander,etc.)goose thread! Post pics!

    I had purchased two American lavender ice as pairs, but the buffs.... One of them has a skinnier neck, but both sound the same and are about the same height. Their lobes (learned a new one today) is what threw me off because up until now I was sure these were a pair as well...

    Ducklings feed/niacin

    From what I've read romaine is naturally high in niacin so you can also give that to them as snacks. If they are ducklings you will want to help them by chopping them into 1/8" squares. Or just minced.

    Rubber foam mats

    @Wild Hair I haven't used the rubber mats, and I only have 11 but I had someone pour cement down and we built a pen approx. 20x17 ! And it has quite a bit of space for them. They even lay in the nest! But for me even with cement and it being winter we have a hard time scraping the poop off...

    How to limit crowing

    I found a "no crow collar" online. My roosters weren't happy at first but it helped make the volume of the crow . It doesn't make so they don't crow. And they were both able to eat and drink and do everything a rooster does happily.

    30 chicks/kiddie pool?

    I've raised 4 chickens in a kiddie pool until they were 3 months old. I do like to give them more room than is necessary though. and after the first week, the chickens kept flying out and roosting on the side. So instead I got a dog pen, one of those portable ones that can be open if you wish. i...
