    Can I Feed Regular Chicken Feed to Broilers?

    The 20% one is called all flock--- do you figure the calcium would be too high with that?

    Can I Feed Regular Chicken Feed to Broilers?

    Howdy, y'all. I've got a batch of meat birds this year, and I ordered my feed from New Country Organics. Unfortunately, I undercalculated the amount I need, and I have too little, and it's too expensive to order more. My question is, would it work to feed the chickens a couple bags of regular...

    Bumblefoot bad enough for a veterinarian?

    Hello. I have a Deathlayer hen that has bumblefoot on both her feet. The pads are swollen, and while the left foot appears to stay the same, the right foot has swollen even more since I started treating it four days ago. I have her on a ten-minute Epsom salt and Chlorhexidine soak every day...

    Possible Coryza?

    Her eye has basically gone back to normal. She did have some blood on her comb, maybe that caused it? There were no other symptoms.

    Hello, Perris. There was no area for comments, so I'm leaving a review instead. Would the fermenting be necessary, or could this food be fed dry?

    HELP! One egg left under mom

    Perhaps remove the oldest chicks to a brooder, see if she'll dedicate her time to the egg then. If she's agitated by removing the chicks, though, and doesn't got back to the egg, you'll have to put them back. Do you have an electric or gas stove? If you have a gas one, try putting the unhatched...

    Feeding the flock for free

    One option is dedicating a section of your garden patch (if you garden) specifically to chickens. For example, you could grow peas in the spring/summer and winter squash and pumpkin in the winter. That way, it's a bit of an alternate food source, not processed, and they will most likely be very...

    Where do you buy meat birds?

    Have you looked into local farms? That way you could pick them up yourself.

    How much do breeding meat birds eat

    Oh, great! I'm also a bit thrown off by their appearance, but any chicken besides a mean chicken will most likely grow on me.

    How much do breeding meat birds eat

    So, as FunClucks suggested, I found a second breed to try along with the Chanteclers. I chose Naked Necks, a.k.a. Turkens. Now, I was hesitant about choosing them because of the lack of feathering, but I looked at a lot of sources, and they said that Turkens would do fine in the cold. And if...
