    Baby Chicks Won't Eat

    I am trying out fermented freed. Maybe I did something wrong? I mixed their feed and some rolled oats, 1cup each, 3 cups water, 3 tbs ACV with mother. (I don't have many chicks.) I let set for a few days, nice and ripe! I put it in the container where they eat so that they would naturally go...

    Funny Chicken Behavior

    Just for fun! I have this one chicken, a hen. We call her Miss Hen. First, she is quite the smart little bird. Second, she is an escape artist! Third, I am not sure, but it's entirely possible she thinks she's a dog. And lastly, no matter what we try, she insists on roosting on our front...

    Fermenting Feed -- CONTAINERS

    I am planning on starting to feed my new chickies fermented feed. I have read that fermented feed should not be made in plastic or metal containers, only glass. Finding large enough glass containers is a bit of a problem. Anyway, I thought I would check here to see if there is any truth to...

    Fermenting Feed 101 For Dummies

    Is it good for layers and meaties? Do layers and meaties require different recipes? Will the dogs eat it? (Of course they will. They eat everything.) Will it hurt the dogs/cats when they eat it? Will it change the quality of the meat or the egg? Cons? How do I get started?

    Thinking About Meat

    Hi, I am thinking about getting some meat birds. My boys think they want to butcher. Aside from the "let's try it and see" experience my kids want, I would like to know if raising my own chickens for me is cheaper -- really cheaper -- after cost of feed and equipment (maybe an ax... I don't...

    Easter Eggs - Every Day?

    No, not the cute little blue and green eggs... My chickens hide their eggs from me. I live out in the country, way out in the country. My chickens are very free range. Aside from penning them up, what can I do? They laud awhile in their little coop, but when I started taking their eggs, they...

    We Survived the 1st Year - Barely

I am in Texas, born and raised, but not ever before this far out in the country. It's nice though. A friend from the city had to rehome a wrongly sexed rooster and...
