That should be good. You don't want them going to bed hungry unless you plan on butchering in the morning.

Chickens don't eat at night unless there is a light. You need to make sure they have enough food to fill their crop before they go to bed. What time of the day do they finish off the FF you put out?

If it is hard from being in the heated brooder, scrape it out. If it's soft, you can pile more on top. They'll eat more and more each day.

That's why you don't eat store bought liver. Just that from animals you raised or wild animals you killed.

No it will not.

Chloramine is not removed by sitting open. The chlorine - ammonia bond must be broken first. Almost all municipalities use chloramine now because it is more stable requiring less to maintain water quality. "Tap Water Conditioner" from the pet store takes care of it. 1 drop per gallon for...

I would bet it is a mash.

I'm afraid they don't get enough to eat when it is frozen. I only feed FF when it is around freezing or above. When it's too cold, they have to get by on pellets and they don't like it but at least they won't starve.

Loveland, CO?

I've gone to dry food on days that will be primarily below freezing. It is just easier to keep the bulk feeders full and keep the buckets of FF in a warm area to put it out when it warms up. Most flocks always have dry feed in the coop but seem to wait to be let out for their FF and they...

Damp wet corn will mold and that isn't healthy. In a fermented mix it is fine. You need to stir it in though.

I couldn't find the MSDS on their site. It is the ultra concentrated form. Probably not a good idea to use more than the recommended 3 drops. I'm sure if you used the whole bottle it would kill just about anything. I use gro2max probiotic powder. I asked them about the chloramine in the...

Reading the entire label, it doesn't say. It is intended for aquariums. Instantly removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies heavy metals to make tap water safe for fish. This is the product. http://www.apifishcare.com/product.php?id=655

X2 Chloramine (what most municipalities use now) has to have the ammonia chlorine bond broken before the chlorine will dissipate. Just sitting in the sun won't do that. I use tap water conditioner. 3 drops per gallon for chloramine, 1 drop per gallon for chlorine.

That's a good one.

If you start with a bit of ACV, that's fine though not really necessary and not necessary to continue. X2

The difference in results is amazing. I've done the normal starter and layer crumbles but I didn't like the results. I'm using a very coarsely ground organic feed with large particles and some whole grains. The consistency is great and I imagine it's similar to those that use conventional feed...

Could be worms or a bacterial infection. I would find a vet to read a fecal sample before you treat so you know what it is.

I'm feeding about 50+ mature birds and am using three 5-gal buckets. I go through 2 buckets about every 3 days. Most of the birds are free ranging but in the dead of winter, there's very little in the line of forage.
