Thanx for the replies everyone and just FYI we got the chickens as chicks from McMurray.

We have an Easter Egger/Arcuna/Americana that should be laying blue, green, olive color eggs like the others I thought, but she is laying a white cream colored eggs. She got badly injured and nearly lost her leg when a cow stepped on her. Could this injury have knocked her print cartridges off...

Dry in south Texas not a problem now cool in south Texas PROBLEM!. I think my neighbor may have a grinder. Man this is tough......Aint givin up......pondering........

That reinventing the wheel thing has me at this point. If I have 4 different species and they make a mix for each species then instead of buying 3-5 different grains we maybe able to just buy 500lbs of 4 different kind of already made mixes. Now how long will it keep. I am thinking as of the...

I was kickin this around on another forum or 3 and best I see so far is to have a few bins that will hold 500lbs or so and get wheat, barley, oats, and corn of course all GMO free and then mix your own with a few added little things here and there that you can probably just buy in a bag or...

Now theres an idea.

Great idea. Can I ask where are you located at and how much land do you have?

We have natural growing bermuda and coastal and at times spreads like wild fire. It always seems to do that every where we don want it.

They made awesome points! The droughts down here past couple years dang near turned us into a dust bowl. Gettin the base and mixin in the rest seems to be only solution. As far as the pasture I am in the middle of thinning out 14 acres and probably need to narrow down to exactly which...

I agree with the 50# is not the way to go for sure. Be nice if there was one feed for all. $480 a ton....That is bout what it is at this place. This place is also 2 hours from me. How close is yours.

Might be on to something as far as getting the base blended and then add what ever as needed.

Sorta what I had in mind.

Just wanted to share a thought. I dunno bout all of you, but when feeding one or hundreds of animals it seems at sometime during the season you are going to buy feed. It maybe winter and everything is covered in a snow blanket or it could be a summer drought turning everything to a dust bowl...

Thanx. We are in TEXAS.

Thanx. We quit worrying bout looks like we did with the first two coops/pens and went for function over looks because the chickens dont care what it looks like or what color it is.

Thanx. You sure enough right. Just remembered we still have to build for the turkeys when we get them in a year or so. Guess I could put them in there with the chickens, but I would like them to have there own thing. Anyways Thanx for looking.

Hopefully this will be the last chicken coop/pen addition. Now we have a brooder/hospital/quarantine section, breeding section, and now this new pen which will hold all the birds, mainly the adult birds. Keep in mind thou we do turn them out everyday! Free range pastured eggs are best! This...

We got the compost down and plowed. Aint sure we doin it right, but here is what we did. We hauled in about 11 yards of compost in 2 different trips for just over 5yds per trip. We figured about 1 ton per yard which was just over 10,000lbs each trip. Our goose neck trailer can gross 14,000lbs...
