Do any of you use Water Kefir or the whey off of Milk Kefir to ferment? Just thinking that if it can make bread (MK whey) it could possible make for a very good addition to fermented feed (my chicks love my extra WK grains)
This is a coop we built out of FREE pallets.....I don't have finished pics on my computer here, but it turned out very nice....just filled in with two small pallets in the front (removable doors) for easy access cleaning when needed :)
I have a 20 week old RIR/Dark Brahma mix hen, and her comb and wattle haven't really grown out at all. and neither have any eggs ...is there something I'm doing wrong or is she just a late bloomer ?
Okay another "Rookie" question.......SOOOO if my hen is RIR and the Roo is RIR i "get it" the chicks will be RIR's, but if the hen is say BO and the Roo RIR...what are the chicks? How does that work, when you have a couple diff Roos running around....and hens of all flavors are all laying...
Did you have any luck?? We are new Backyard Chicken peeps and have already been talking about milking goats......we are just South of you in Lumberton!!! Let me know!
Is it really.......the best time to plant roses...I have one in a pot that I brought back to life (tiny roses) from the grocery store......I was thinking about planting instead of bringing it inside...it doesn't like the inside very well!
This is a very good blog with the simple easy steps to FF :) I haven't tried it yet, but I Intend too try it at least once :)

Probably silly question from a Beginner...but how is the VetRx going to keep them warm....is there another use for it beside mosquito & fly control???????? Inquiring minds want to know
So the kids like sleeping in the nesting boxes....usually all five of them in one box......is this a habbit I should try and break....or should I let chickens be chickens and sleep where they squat? And if its something I need to work on...what should I try?
Thank you!!!!
