    Sending greetings from new member in Costa Rica

    I am not familiar with that area but most places in Costa Rica have no problem with folks having chickens. I live near San Ramon which is a fair size city and know folks there have chickens. Around where I live, Los Angles Sur, there are chickens everywhere. You see them along side the road...

He of course has several kinds...

    Are you from Costa Rica too?

    Hello Salli, There are chicken fanciers here that would know what is available.I learned from a neighbor but they have moved away so I no longer have any contacts. Again I would ask at a local feed store or at a good veterinary office. Are you a member of the CRL (Costa Rica Living) yahoo...

    Are you from Costa Rica too?

    There are several types of Bantam hens here in Costa Rica including Silkies which are good layers as well as mamas. You just have to ask around in your area or check at the local feed stores and sometimes the vets have chickens/bantams. We no longer have chickens, too many with too many chores.

    The ULTIMATE list of DUCK Treats and Supplements...

    I don't know if this could be considered a treat or just plain awesome food for ducks. I started fermenting feed for my chickens over a year ago, awesome food and they love it. When we got a drake and two hens for snail and slug control we started giving them a choice between regular feed, 50/50...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    I have a silkie roo and two hens. They all can range in our backyard, there is no problem keeping them nice and clean as the yard has some kind of ground cover plant that keeps them out of the mud. Of course the deep litter in the coop really helps all the flock to stay clean and dry. The two...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    I plan to sprout grains for my flock when the dry season hits here, I will start about November and keep it going till maybe the end of May (our dry season can be very dry). The grass here when it is dry turns brown so this will give them some greens along with the FF. I will be using a little...

    I'm sure you will but please post the resulting condition of the hens that are old. My flock is not old enough to have "old hens" but I do hope they get there some day. Posting good info such as that will help me and others to plan on what to expect form our flocks fed with FF from day one. The...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    When you get those very large eggs with the huge rich reddish orange yokes you will be so happy and proud you gave them FF. Just look at the size of this egg coming from a barnyard hen (well that is what I call a hen from an egg hatched by one of our whoknowswhat hens and our ol' yard rooster)...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    There was a thread about composting with chickens, folks ended up putting their compost materials in their chickens runs or where the chickens could get to it when the free ranged, some were huge piles, the chickens did their thing the pile shrank fast. We toss all of our table scraps where the...
