Uh guys...the topics here got mixed up. My original question was a way of humane way of culling so we can eat the poultry (I hatch a lot for myself to sell eggs and we eat the roosters). I know there is a way to give something to the birth to breath (goes in the lungs), not inject in the blood...

Uh..I am sure there was a post somewhere in these forums how to cull. I don't want to euthanize as ...well ..we eat. But I remember someone writing that they firstly give the chicken something to breath, the chicken falls asleep and then they cull.

I have read a post somewhere here about human way of culling chicken. Put them to sleep first and then cull ..or something.. I don't want them to suffer, so if anyone could point me to that thread/article/post would be thankful.

I am well, thank you. Suddenly 4 of my hens decided to go broody so I am trying to find good eggs. I ordered White Sussex, unfortunately out of 10 eggs only 2 hatched and they are not Sussex! I contacted the seller and he was like "Oh, yeah, my other breeds jump over the fence every now and...

@chickengr So have you moved to geese and ducks now? How about chicken? Where is @BDutch ? Last year I had a serious car accident but praise God - it was a miracle I survived, God really saved me (if you only hear how I survived you will have no doubt it was God). I spent months in the hospital...

OK guys and girls.. I am back. How is everyone?

Добре дошла 🙂

I am here :) Just a million of other adventures in my life. Yes, importing eggs by truck did work well. And BTW I am now buy ISA-Brown eggs from France the same way - they import them by truck. How is everyone? Last year I was busy building a chicken coop - did not have one before. I will send...

I tried cultivating BSF, but I live in a cold area (around 15-18C these days) and I don't think they survive here. Duckweed/Lemna - has around 30% protein they say. I couldn't find any article about fibre in it? My chicken started eating it and they love it, but it grows so slow...uh I read it...

I just watched this video and I was surprised to see that they are able to check the fertility of the eggs before placing in the incubator and vaccinate the eggs before hatch. Somebody here told me they did that during the Communism in the large hatcheries but I didn't believe the person as I...

They sell them on Marktplaats 🙂 They are wide spread in Europe. In fact Netherlands has the largest factory for BSF larvae in Europe. In London several small companies are located in urban areas. In France too. In the USA (I read it here on another thread) some chickeners breed/raise ? them at...

Uh, they take 2 years to reach reproductive maturity...

Thank you @DanDi27 . BTW I have started with Lemna...chicken don't like it! I still cannot find BSFL here.

I will! Thank you!

@DanDi27 ah.. you have them in the USA... So could you compare BSF larvae with superworms?

@saysfaa I haven't started with Lemna yet, just investigating options. I do have a 2sq.m pond where I was planning to grow it... Rabbits - I don't like, plus I don't think they will survive the dogs 😄 and cages etc. is noty thing, and yeah I cannot cull a rabbit... Fish in the Lemna pond -...

Thanks.. I will be flying...

I have been looking into ways of growing my own protein rich food for the chicken. I have tried superworms. Found them really addictive, chicken go crazy about them, but just as someone mentioned they have fat... So I am now looking into several other options - Lemna, grasshoppers and BSF...

Ok, I am now into 2 other chicken topics: 1. Heating chicken water during the winter using solar light... I am researching options. 2. Growing my own protein rich food. I have tried superworms and it works. I will now be trying with Lemna and with grasshoppers. I am also looking to buy BSF...

Uh, somehow I still cannot find the value of bantam chicken... (I have Silkies, Sultans and Freezland hens)
