How long should green beans be cooked so they are safe for chickens? I want to give my ladies a balanced diet while eliminating store bought feed in the process. Grean beans are at the top of the list of easy foods to grow.

So the animal stall and fencing is going in now. Stall to show up two Fridays from now. This is for a horse and maybe a donkey. This will give me a very big area for the ladies to freerange. So I need some help with chicken math. If a small farmer could help me. What is a rough idea of a...

Has anyone here bred a RIR heritage rooster with some production RIR hens? Does anyone have pictures of their results? How did it effect the laying? I think it would make the next gen a little stronger. How about a Jersey Giant with a RIR hen?
