    Three part question :-)

    Hi chicken experts... 1.If I was out of town and my eggs were not collected for 2 days will they still be good? (About 75 degrees here during the last couple days...50's at night) 2.Is there a "test" you can do to see if they are good? I thought I read something about floating an egg once. 3.If...

    Very odd issue with my layer pellets

    So, I guess it may only be odd to me and normal for everyone else and i just don't know it. I put my 50 bag of pellet in a very large gatorade water cooler.

    Any ONE grain that is sufficient?

    I live in Nebraska...so if that tells you anything...I have access to feedmills, grain bins, farmers, etc. Is there any ONE grain I could just go buy a ton of and be comfortable knowing they had what they needed? They do not free range often. We have multiple predators around. I could supplement...

    Can I use a protein supplement that is meant for human consumption?

    I have a huge bucket of protein powder that I was using when I was lifting weights. It is a bananna flovored powder that goes in milk to make protein shakes. I don't like the flavor. Can I mix it in with my grains?
