thanks so much for the information. I'll try this website out first. I like the eggs and the marans chickens are beautiful too. I'll bet your brahma marans is beautiful too.
I planted a lot of everything for my chickens but they won't eat broccoli, cabbage, kale, or collards. Should I be cooking them first?
Do you ferment grain for your chickens?
Thanks for all of the information. I have a long way to go.
we are planting 2x's the amount of veggies (pumpkins/squash/peppers..etc..), so that we can subsidize the birds diets..that includes the turkeys and meat birds..I feel they should have a variety of things in their diets too. The better they eat, the better we do! ;) Going to be investing in...
This is my first year with chickens and I'm so excited, I just had to tell someone. I raised 10 chicks and today I got my first egg from Blanche, one of my Buff Orpingtons. I could just kiss her!!!
I have 17 pullets? That are 5 months old that I raised from chicks. Their coop is pine boards but they have about a 1/4" gap between the boards. Will that be too much air? I don't know what ferment feed is???
I went to scoop out the nights droppings under their roost and was I ever grossed out...
