Hi guys, sorry not been around for a while - illness, all sorted now. I have now been fermenting for about a year I think, and have changed what I do quite dramatically since I first started with AVC. I now have 8 girls, I make my own LAB (lacto acid baccillus) and use this for fermenting...

OH BOY do I feel dumb - never even occurred to me to put the surplus into the fridge ................................... RESPECT Linda ................... RESPECT !

I also use kelp - but mine is fresh - am lucky enough to live 10 min walk from the sea, so whenever we get any rough weather we take the dogs to the beach the next day and get fresh kelp. I just rinse in fresh water and hang some in their run for them to take as they wish. The rest I...

This post is specifically for Beekissed. You have not only made a huge impact and difference for your fellow Americans and all their birds - but even across the pond here in the UK. All the things I have learned from you and your threads, this one, fermenting for meat birds and the road...

I've had two chickens in the past that I have found still alive but starting rigor mortise. i.e. they are still alive but stiff as a board. I am talking two years ago - but am now only asking why sick chickens appear to go into rigor when still alive. I have checked the internet this...

Have you got any NuStock? That will certainly help with the redness/soreness. I had a similar problem with one of my girls being red and sore with loss of feathers and read about NuStock on one of the fermenting feeds threads (or possibly the Road Less Traveled thread). It is hellishly...

I have to give him something to do to feel useful

Well girls, (and boys) having read the 'Road Less Travelled' and this thread, and JUST having finished 'Fermented Feeds Anyone Using them' ........................................................ each and every post on all three threads ........................................ I think I can...

Why not????? I did - it only took 2 weeks. OK, OK, OK, I am anal about research - but some has to be done sometime. Short answer is add your normal feed to a bucket - add water to cover by about 2-3 inches (dry feed absorbs a LOT of water), stir, wait, stir, wait, if it...

It was as extremely funny series - HOWEVER - if you actually live with him (or one like him) it is a totally different matter - believe me. NO-ONE can throw a tantrum like him - and he is 70 !

You have no idea - honestly you don't. Did you ever get the programme 'Faulty Towers' in the U.S.A.? My husband is who they took the Basil Faulty character from. What made it funnier is that we used to own a hotel !

OK. The pumpkin seeds arrived today, so I diligently added about a teaspoon of castor oil to around half a cupful of seeds and went out to offer them to my girls. As usual they stormed up saying ME, ME, ME, ME, ME FIRST! They grabbed at the seeds - ........................ and Phooey...

How cute are they LIsa??????????????? I bet you can barely tear yourself away from them.

Thank you TW

Thanks Bev Just thought I would add a few more photos - I am aware that some people when they have a problem with their girls may overstate just what they are doing for them - so thought I would show you some of their sprouts These are the sprouted lentils, mung beans, alfalfa and...

Thanks Bee - just wondered if I had missed something - my eyesight is not what it was when I was younger - that's why I took the photographs so I could blow them up (magnify that is). I thought if anyone could find a mite or an egg it would be you. I am still going to give them some...

Forgot to add. This is their dust bath. Soil, Sand and wood ash - they actually have to walk through this to get to the extended run section (cannot have them free range because I have two would-be killer cats and two would-be killer dogs) - besides not enough garden - all natural...
