Hi, I am struggling with creating my own broiler feed and I wish to find out can I use only corn and soy meal plus premixes with vitamins and minerals?
Would it be a complete feed?
Any recommendation is more then welcome.
... Or any of your proven recipes.
Hi all,
I have three-week-old chicks. I was wondering if I can give them "defrosted frozen corn" at this age. I gave them a little bit and they love it but I wanted to check out what you think. Also, they did fine. No reactions or anything.
Thanks,

I am looking to start raising muscovies but was wondering how much I need to feed them (in grams) meaning for instance (completely made up) 1 day old 100g and then 1 month old are 200g so on so forth until they are adults. Will Muscovy ducks eat corn, sunflower, mealworm, fish, watermelon and...
I was wondering when the best time to plant corn is. I have a bed for it and some seeds, and I was wondering when I should plant them. So when should I?
Hey poultry folk! I was just thinking about how different feeds have different protein levels (starter is 18-19%, grower is 14-15%, and layer is 16-17%). Does anyone know what the difference is between the feeds that some have higher protein than others? Is it more of certain types of grains, or...
My chicks are nearly a month old and they LOVE when I feed them little bits of spinach. I mix some grit into their food as well as a few meal worms.
I’ve started adding a splash of ACV to their water since I just found out that too much spinach isn’t good for laying chickens.
I had one head...

Hi everyone.

Hello,
So I have been raising Chickens, Ducks, And Geese, on this method for 5 years with absolutely no issues with their health or dropped production or excessive fat. I am just putting it out there and will not change my way of care but will consider any opinions and may add other...
I have free roaming gang of 5 ducks. I was feeding them duck feed, but then, I stopped completely, because they only nibbled a few times and then my dogs ate it. For some reason, dogs love the stuff - even whole corn kernels and grain!
Well, after I stopped giving them their duck feed, they...
Garden season is winding down. I will be picking up some barley and BOSS this weekend. Don't intend to start sprouting until the birds no longer have access to the yard, but I'll be ready!
Any one sprouting whole corn for their birds?? I'm toying with the idea of picking up a couple pounds...
First time really growing anything, tried once before a few years ago but the animals ate them and planted in a bad spot.
First time starting as seeds/having a proper garden.
Anyway, my vegetables are thriving! Also have tomatoes and peppers starting to grow! And look at all those flowers...
