    DIY whole grain feed mix

    Thanks for answering about the kelp. I wondered if they would eat it like crazy because they almost always love green stuff, or if they would pick at it as needed. Maybe I will try free choicing it at some point in the future.

    DIY whole grain feed mix

    If it helps, here are a few things that I have come across while doing my own poultry feed research. The limits listed farther below for how much of each ingredient is okay to include come from "Niche Poultry Feeding and Management" by Jeff Mattocks, which I have left a citation for at the...

    Cool. I am sure they are very happy birds! Sounds like they are spoiled (in a good way! ;))

    Beautiful birds! I loved my geese when we had them and so so want to get more. I am waiting for Dave Holderread's book "The Book of Geese" to come in the mail right now. Since I have wanted to read this book FOREVER and since I don't have the budget to add geese to my flock right now, I am...

    Good to know! I haven't heard of faro, so there's something else for me to research. Safflower I have heard of but am not super familiar with.

    Dangerous friends indeed. 🤣 Keeping waterfowl is kind of like an addiction that keeps getting worse....it's animal math, I guess. Just wait until I get an incubator lol. My first year with ducks, and I have three breeding pens I plan to set up. I am constantly dreaming up what to get next...

    Are your Pilgrims as gentle tempered as the breed is typically reported to be?

    DIY whole grain feed mix

    I have a question about the free-choice kelp meal. Do you provide that for your ducks as well, and if so, do they waste it or eat a lot of it? Or do they just take a nibble here and there? I'd love to provide my ducks with kelp meal, and have been pondering on how I would probably offer it...

    Can Quail Handle Whole Black oil Sunflower Seeds (BOSS)?

    I've been pondering this question for some time as I continue to research quail nutrition and diets. If/when I get into quail, I am making plans (and developing recipes) to mix my own feeds. First, I am doing my best to make sure that they will eat the things I intend to include in my mix...

    Just dropping in to introduce myself here on BYC. I've been learning from the site for several months now, but decided it was time to make an account so that I can personally ask my own questions about poultry. WHAT I USED TO HAVE... I used to have several geese (seven, to be exact), and LOVED...
