I bought a bag of Cluck & Co layer feed for my chickens because it was on sale but they weren't quite at the right age yet so I was going to save it until they were, but I forgot the bag in the trunk of my car and it's been quite hot lately (70s/80s). The bag was not opened yet but now I'm...
I live in the UK so our weather doesn't get too warm, but I try to get the girls a variety of seasonal veggies in.
I can't give our flock mealworms or black soldier fly larvae as these are illegal to feed chickens in the UK (due to the rubbish processing, sometimes animal deritives are...
Hi all! I was wondering if this feed would be okay for quails and chicks? I know it’s a stretch but just curious, I’ve heard some bad stuff about purina medicated feed and I want some advice from more experienced people rather than the internet.
My friend got me the wrong feed and I’d hate for...
Ever been wandering through the store and you just see something that almost seems photoshopped because of how unreal it looks? Same. And today whilst attempting to get my weekly groceries in peace I stumbled upon that exact phenomenon...... insane right?! Out of all the foods to make a crazy...
I’m trying to introduce new food to my goslings. So far I’ve given them chopped apples, strawberries, green peas, lettuce, various grasses, watermelon, blackberries, blueberries and mulberries. They only ate the watermelon, peas, lettuce and grass. Any suggestions to get them to try new foods? I...
Today while I was collecting seeds from my Cauliflower seed pods I was thinking about the seed pods opening up on their own when I wasn't around, and that got me thinking even more..
What if I made a garden section where I left the plants, partially, to their own devices. I would still water...

Broccoli leaves (Leaves of the plant itself, not the flower)
Lemon Balm (they will eat any part of the plant

My chicks are 10 weeks old and I have about 5-6 days worth of their crumbles left. When it’s time I plan to feed all flock and oyster shells. Obviously they’re not laying yet. Should I buy all flock now or another bag of crumbles? Thanks!
Anyone have any idea what is sneaking into the run and making these little balls of food at night? This morning I also found this dropping…this just started in the last week or two and now it’s every night. The birds eat it in the morning lol. Thanks!
There are an abundance of eight-spotted forester caterpillars on virginia creepers around here and I was wondering if they would be safe for my chickens to eat.
All the caterpillars eat are grapevines and virginia creepers so I can't see how they could be dangerous, but I have not found much in...
I wanna see everyone's lovely meals from the eggs of your precious flocks.
I'll go first! Here's my fried egg from breakfast on some ham and freshly homemade bread (made by my awesome mom) with some cheese, tomatoes, and such. It's wonderful to get some amazing breakfasts from the eggs of my...
I saw a few things about being able to feed my girls raw fish, but nothing about deboning them. Does anyone know if that should be done or can I throw it in whole, head and all? Going to be giving them a trout if that makes any difference.

It is time to introduce my chicks to grit, I have sprinkled it over their food a few days. Do I continue to do that or do I offer it by itself? I have them on paper towels right now because they have been eating the wood shavings, I would like to move them back to wood, but read it’s good to...

I have 2 chickens, 1.5yr apart in age and my older australorp killed 3 speckled Sussex on the same day! So with only one SS left, I had to make a partition so they have separate coop/runs. Over the past year, the wood of the coop weakened with the elements and the mini pig (which I've had since...
