Ok. I have to go get them some more feed today, so I will look for the grower. I'm going to have them processed at 10 weeks. They are Freedom rangers.

My meat chicks are 5 weeks old. When can I add some BOSS to their feed? I'm feeding them start and grow FF. They are getting some size to them. Do any of you change their feed to something else, or do you just feed them the start/grow?

I was just wanting to know what ingredients you mixed in your made- to- order feed. Thank you for the info on the Pollard! You too, Robert M!

Hi Jacqdiva! What do you mix in your feed? And may I ask, what is pollard?

Thank you much Bee! I didn't think so, but just wanted to make sure. I knew you would have a good answer! I'm going to ask the feed mill about their "recipe". I'm sure it is ok. I've been using it for a long time and the flock is doing good. I just ordered meat chicks and was looking up the...

I've been using ff for about 1 1/2 yrs now. I just read tiktoks link. I've always used local non gmo layer mash, 3 grain scratch, steam rolled barley and boss. After reading her article, I feel maybe this isn't the best for them. Especially the scratch and boss. If I understand her correctly...

I've never had mold and I don't keep mine soupy. Soupy is messy and like you said takes to long to strain. Don't keep it covered in water. I throw a dish towel over my buckets, that is all that covers mine. I've never smelled sour wine, but I would think that would be about right.

Hmm! I can't think of why they wouldn't eat it. It took mine a couple of days before they would eat it, but now they love it. Maybe give them a little more time. Maybe the weather has been to hot and they aren't hungry, if they are outside, maybe more bugs and greens!!?? Not sure if weather...

I do mine like LindaB220. Oatmeal consistency. It will develop the whiteish crust on top. I don't stir mine except when I'm mixing it. When one bucket gets to be about 1/4 or so empty, I will add lukewarm water to it, to a soupy consistency, and stir it. Then I let it sit. It may be 2-3 days...

Ok Thanks! I may go back and research the ff thread to see what she said. My scratch has some big chucks of corn in it. I don't want the chicks to choke.

Whoo WHoo!!! Congratulations!!! What are you going to feed the chicks? layer mash or chick feed. Didn't Bee just feed hers layermash?

That's what it does!!! Happy satisfied flock!!

Just watched the video!! I'm with you x10!!! I saved this in my bookmarks for referral. I'm going to start this asap!

I'm with you!! I remember the same things! Sitting on my grandma's front porch with the scent of petunias and geraniums from the porch boxes, catching lightning bugs, listening to the sounds of the neighbors settling in for the night, the crickets. The ice cream truck used to come around about...

Oh the sweet, simple pleasures!

I so totally agree with you Bee! All of the above and the quietness when there is a few inches of snow. I don't mind driving on snow at all. Now ice is another matter! And mind you, I don't want snow all winter. But a couple of snowstorms that lasts a few days then quickly melts, I don't mind.

You make me laugh!!
