Quote: Greed does it every time... X2

This might be a simple question, because I really have to think simply, I have a hard time grasping alot of what ya'll are talking about, but my chickens which are game mixes will eat the 7 way scratch grain which contains milo,corn, sunflower seeds etc. I don't have the info right in front of...

Quote: They still fight chickens in NC. too it is illegal here too but not enforced very well. I won't sell my roosters because of it, I'd rather process humanely than think of the tragic death they would come too.

Quote: Cheese would be okay but I wouldn't give much. So Casino is feral too? Did some one just dump them? Since they live wild they probably know where all the good stuff is, my games/and game crosses pretty much live off the land, they do love scratch and mealworms and i do offer Purina FR...

Quote: I don't think I have seen him say. Sorry. Hopefully he'll continue this soon.

I have been using just water to ferment the oats but will see if i can find raw apple juice here. My chickens forage continually during the day so maybe thats why they don't seem that interested in the pellets, but now that winter is upon us with snow and ice foraging will be less and alot less...

Does anyone use fermented oats? i just started doing this and they love them, but My main concern is they really don't care that much for the Flock Raiser pellets and I feel I am wasting the feed that is so expensive, if it's not wet or damp in the evening i hold it over till the next day. My...

Quote: I started my chicken keeping in B.C. (before computers) and my chickens get only scratch grains as purchased supplement. I use the "Chicken Bucket" method: I toss the chicken bucket out to them in the morning when I let them out and then add a scoop of scratch to the emptied chicken...
