Yes I always bake mine & stir so it all gets hot. I saw on this web site about freezing. I'm always in a hurry so I just bake it. Tks

To make sure there ate no bugs in bran put in freezer a couple days. Or bake in 250 degree oven for about 45 min.

Aww! I have 3 turtles. I named them Larry, Curly & Moe. Waiting til my peeps are a little older before I name them.

So cute! I love your names. Might have to steel some.

I put about 6 or 7" of fresh (no bugs) bran in a 10 gal aquarium. Put the mealworms in & layer the top with a bunch of 1/4 inch slices of raw potatoes. When they have eaten most of them I put more slices of potatoes. After quite a few months when the level of bran drops down I put more bran in...

Sounds good Tezolt. I'm far from a pro at this. I just go by what the hatchery told me, & 90 is not warm enough for newly hatched peeps. I'm just a crazy nut about my chickens & this web site is so helpful. I know how I felt when I lost just 1. I can't amagine loosing that many. So sorry.

My second batch ate finally eating their fermented feed really well. I will always feed atleast the peeps fermented feed. It is so easy & really helps their delicate intestinal track. I lost 1 before I got them started on it. I saw the dark watery poop & peep was dead in the morn. I haven't had...

I have been keeping my new peeps in a 3 x 3 box with temp at 100 under the lite. Also feeding fermented feed to them. It is so easy to make & makes the world of difference. I was told by my local hatchery they need temp close to 100 when newly hatched. But have to have room for them to get away...

I am having trouble getting my second batch of peeps to eat the fermented feed. I have tried putting some out of the bowl. sprinkling the dry (which they love, all around the bowl). I'm afraid their not getting enough to eat.

The fermenting directions say you can put the crushed egg shells into it. Will that hurt the Rooster to get the extra calcium.

Cool Idea about hanging a head of cabbage. Just getting started myself. Learning a lot from this web site. Older 4 to 6 week old are in my 2 stalls I converted into a chicken pen. Two week old chicks are in the house graduating to cooler temps. Adult RIR Roo & 1 hen are in another pen. They are...

He is beautiful!

Chickens are so much fun. You all have given me so many ideas for names for my new babies. I rescued a big RIR from an older Roo pecking the snott out of him. I have neighbors that get chickens but have no pen to keep them in. I penned this guy up, doctored him til well. Now I have a best bud...

I saved a RIR young Roo from being pecked to death by older Roo. Both are from neighbors that got chickens with no pen. They hang in my pasture probably cause they love picking apart my horse poop. I put injured Roo in pen & been doctoring him. He is now we'll & my best bud. Just caught the one...

Chickens will roam everywhere without fencing & Roosters will fight. While giving riding lessons 2 Roosters were fighting next door. The fight lasted to long so went & checked it out. The older Rooster had the much larger RIR stuck & pecking him bad. Big guy was bleeding out the eye. These are 2...

Yea, they go in the pen to roost, but I kinda got lazy about locking them in so they could go out in the morning before I get up. But I will start locking them in again. I have a 50 ft square yard that is already fenced. We are going to add another 4ft to the almost 4ft that is there. I saw this...

I have 22 RIR hens & 1 Rooster. All are free range all over my 5 acres. I don't even lock them in at night. So far the only thing that's bothered them is rat snake eating eggs. Going to make a pen & yard. I'm tired of poop everywhere & don't find all the eggs. Do you think they can fly over 7 ft...

She's white with black spots.

My compost pile has mold in it. What am I doing wrong? I have it surrounded by pallets & in the sun. I started covering it for shade. Can i salvage it or should I start again. Will the mold go away. I think I have to much brown matter & not enough Green.
