Nothing personal Mac but if you trust anything in the Fed. Govt. let alone the USDA, I have this beautiful bridge down the road from me...:-), I think you would love to buy it from me. I have personally seen "organic" used very loosely.

I think we really don't know what long term affects GMOs have on feed and food, and if thats all we can get then thats all we can get. I am feeding Purina also, would love to be able to grow or buy GMO free feed...
Hey Goosedragon, Maybe you should check this out. Let's let nature take it's own course on things.

Hi ChickieBooBoo, I live in South TX so the temp is better than up your way but they do lay less when they molt & it gets cooler but never 1 to 3 a day. The first story I saw about Percy, 2 yrs. ago, it said Monsanto's trucks went by his fields, with no tarp on them & the grain was flying out...
I appreciate your views but I would never feed one kind of food only. I do feed layer pellets plus many other foods, garden leftovers kitchen scraps, milo,etc. I was getting at least 1 doz. eggs a day when the chickens first started laying. They just started decreasing a little at a time. Plus...

Thank you so much for posting this site. I would like to say that I have 40 laying chickens & I have been getting 1 to 3 eggs a day for the past 4 months. I stopped feeding corn because it is GMO. I still feed milo, as I don't know if it also contains GMO. I mainly feed with chickweed...

I have read from many reliable sources on the bad points of GMO & Round-up. I respect your point of view, just don't compel me, as the controlled food supply is doing, to eat or feed my animals GMO products.
For those who have 4-legged livestock & feed alfalfa. It now contains GMO, thanks to monsanto !!! I have 2 mules so I don't have to worry about infertile problems but I do worry about other problems that we do not know about GMO. It is just a $$$ thing for monsanto plus there having control over...

I've yet to hear of anyone regretting starting them. I know I haven't.
Care: Too easy. Housing: Anything with slick sides that's 4" or more high. Selection: Any old regular ones. Just don't get the jumbos. Temps: They'll live even in the fridge but you want them at 70-100 if you can. 60...

I forgot to tell you more about the mice. I set 6 regular mouse traps around the worm box & every mouse I catch ( many) I throw them over to my chickens & watch them fight for them. I also stick a water hose down mouse holes in their coop & as the mice run out the chicks go crazy...

I used to watch over my mealies several times a day but now that I'm raising so many I just make sure they have enough food & forget all the rest. They are doing great & having lots a babies. The wheat bran slowly turns to a powder, I guess they eat it & that's what's left, then just...

Well you are in good company, except I never had any IRA's courtesy of well, let's just call it life.
Is there a self-sufficiency thread on here anywhere? I have 1/3 of an acre. I keep ponds, have one wimpy little 15 watt solar panel, plus regulators and a couple of batteries, want to...

Hi Kassaundra, My box is in a carport type tent outside. I have lots of insulation around the box. A few weeks ago it got down to 34 degrees & the worms were fine. The box sits on legs about waist high. I will feed lots of worms along with milo & veggies from our garden & greenhouse...

That mostly depends on temps, the warmer the colony is the faster they eat, molt, grow.
Just thought I'd let you all know what I've done because I have about 60 hens & roos. I live in East Tx. & it freezes a few times in the winter. I stopped the 3 drawer system so I could grow more...
