    Anyone using black soldier flies?

    I would grow any type of bugs that like flour and wheat since we have lots of it. The wheat isn’t moldy but moths have been it due to improper storage.

    Can Chickens Eat Alfalfa Hay?

    Twice a week I soak the pellets in raw milk that is starting to sour. The hens love it and it is a great way to get them greens during the winter. We also put hay in the nesting boxes but they like to drag it out but we have never had a problem.
