I have a field mouse problem that we are trying to get under control without using chemicals so at this point the mice chew through the tough rounded plastic garbage cans. The only thing they haven't gotten through is the metal. Is there another alternative? I have mine out of the sun in a shed...
I started my wheat soaking but have a couple questions please ;). I am going to do very small batches to start with as only have 4 chickens.
What to soak seeds in: a container with holes inside a container without holes with a lid with air holes?
Do you rinse in same container soaking in or...
.
Good point! New to chickens n feed so don't know what I am doing :). So just store it covered like regular feed (inside out of elements, off ground, and sealed so no pests get in it)?
Just got my bag of wheat and after reading this thinking I should divide it up into a weeks worth and put it in ziplock bags and into the freezer. How do others store it if have only a few chickens?
I am going into waxahachie tomorrow so the health food stores are on my list as is Boyce's. I don't know why my first feed store search didn't show Boyce's but thank you for letting me know about that one :).
I have been looking for some seed to start sprouting but can't seem to find any local other than 50# oregon grown gulf annual rye seed at .70 a lb. I wanted to try a smaller bag to see if i could do it snd chickens liked it. It doesn't help that we are new to the area and don't know local places...
I am sure that each tractor supply carries some different things based on the local usage. I went to tractor supply today and they only had rye grass at 32.99 for 50lbs. I wanted a smaller bag to start with to see if I could get the hang of it.
