    Does anyone feed their chickens spent grains from beer brewing?

    We just started home brewing and are making our first batch of India pale ale right now! Brewing 5-6 gallons of this recipe produces a pound or so of spent grain - malted barley, which is barley that has been germinated, then dried (and now is wet after steeping them) I just gave a little bit...

    EE's talking

    Yes, my Ameracaunas are very vocal too! One (of the two) especially - Moosi, she gets up on a perch as soon as she wakes up and just squawks and talks all morning!

    I did it ...I did it!

    a friend of mine says the same thing about a chick shortage - she was supposed to get them today, but no! didn't hear when they're supposed to come. I think it's great that so many people want chicks! and, cetawin, have fun with your babies when they come!

    Hi all, For once, I actually have some knowledge on this topic. I'm a graduate student and am doing some research on silver in the environment - about how to detect and understand what form silver might be in the environment - but anyway... I can't understand the popularity of colloidal...

    Laying Hen, somewhat depressed, white/yelllow diarrhea, messy vent....

    it does sound a little like my hen who was just egg bound - at least the messy vent and lethargy part, but our hen additionally had blood on her eggs and a swollen vent. She had the same symptoms for a couple of days, and then was in complete pain until we put her in a warm bath and she passed...

    Dead Pullet

    So sorry to hear about that - but yes, I believe the hens can peck the little ones to death.

    Hen pulling feathers

    could she have mites? still don't know if that would make her pull out her own feathers though. i've heard there's bitter stuff you can spray to prevent pecking ... i don't have any experience though- good luck!

    caring for post-egg-bound hen

    Hi, My year old Buff Orpington just passed an eggbound egg - I have never had that before, it was scary. Thanks to some of the previous topics I knew to put her in a warm bath and it came out. We've been noticing things weren't quite right with her over the last few weeks. About a month and...

    Completely new chick owner

    Hi! That's great that you can get 3 chicks. 3 might seem like a few, but it's a good idea to start with just a few, so you're not overwhlemed. Taking care of chicks is really fun, but it's work too. Plus, they grow up into chickens really fast! I bet you'll like chickens too by the time...

    $5.19/dozen for certified ORGANIC eggs...

    Geez ... $5.19 ... I can't believe people would pay that. They could get 2 chicks for that price! Before my pullets started laying, after my previous hens were taken by a nasty fox, the brand I settled on was Land O lakes free range, not organic. I thought they seemed fresher than some of the...

    Are Christmas trees chicken safe????

    we just called our home depot and asked if their trees were treated with flame retardants or dyes. they said no, they get the trees locally and their supplier does not treat with anything. so we're going to throw the tree in the run now!

    what's your Roosters name

    we had one we had to give away - when we thought they were all pullets we named him Cutler-Bailey after two of the Denver Broncos. we've learned two lessons. 1. don't names chicks after men. all the others were girls or non gender specific names, and they all turned out to be hens. 2. don't...
