Well, I believe I have foune non-GMO corn and non-say chicken feed for my meaties. I should know tonite and/or later this week. I have found a mill that will do it and hope to have it shipped without too much cost. Anyone interested in a diet like this for health reasons, let me know here on...
Thanks yorkchick and farmerboy16 for the nice greetings. Looking at a busy summer and the processing is my next challenge to meet and knock down. Nice grain bin, wish I had one now. Scaling up is something I will do if things work out and margins are good. Great site and glad people are...
Oh! Chickengrandma, I forgot to say I am in SW michigan down near Hopkins and Allegan. Hopefully I will find some help when I process about 95 birds. Someone told me about someone who will come to the property and do it there with a MPPU (Mobile Poultry Processing Unit). I still may need a few...
