Pic of the fodder

How soon can you feed your fodder? And it seems that there is a white furry fluffy mold that shows up when it gets dry. Spray water on it and it goes away at least it appears so. Is that anything to worry about?

Seems like everyone thinks he's a cockerel. Guess that's not so bad if I can cross him with my Ameracauna and get an olive egger. Thank you for all your input!

The hatchery says it's a pullet. I think it's a rooster! What do y'all say? It is a blue copper maran 10 wks old at the time of this pic!

It's mid 70's during the day and 60 at night. Humidity isn't to bad. Thanks for the info

Have you had any issues with your barley? I bought a 50lb bag of whole barley from a mill. Put it in to soak last night and noticed this morning it had patches of white mold. Have you had this issue? Can ya just fish out the mold and sprout it?

How soon can you feed chicks fodder?

Can chickens eat any variety of sunflower seeds? And how soon can you feed them sunflower seeds?

Thanks for all the info! Just seems to me like most of those places are taking advantage of the popularity chickens are getting to make a lot of money. $1000-$2000 for a chicken coop is a little rediculous. I put a wooden fence around my yard at my old house for half the price ($500). And it...

Anyone know where a good place to buy a coop is? Preferably close to Indiana. I can't believe the price of coops. Ridiculous if you ask me.

So I noticed tonight a couple of my chicks had I think it's called pasty butt? Got it cleaned off. Any ideas for prevention or treatment?

How much fodder can or should you feed your chickens?
