    Purple Corn vs Yellow Corn. What’s the Difference?

    What’s the difference between purple corn and yellow corn for the flock? Is it a gimmick? I know purple vegetables with have different nutritional values than their original color. Is it the same for corn? P.s. I think it would be so cool if the yolks turned purple.. Halloween eggs! :lau

    Chicken wont eat

    Hi guys! I have a chicken with no upper beak named Paddy. I need help getting her to eat, as she has recently decided she hates layer pellets, and will only eat scrambled eggs.

    Will my flock get the right nutrition?

    This is the feed I am hoping to give my new girls once they start laying. I wanted to do non-gmo, soy free. Are there any nutrition gaps? I’ll also be supplementing with sea shells. Thanks for any info!

    What’s with this egg?

    One of my ee chickens keeps laying this type of blue banded egg. I noticed today there’s black raised spots all over it. Is this considered pimpling? I feed them 7 way, all flock pellets, and oyster shell daily. Is this potentially a health issue?

    Making your own feed...

    I want to raise broilers and formulate my own feed to do so. I'd like to do it without soy or corn (haha, right?). I am looking at Black Soldier Fly Larvae and alternative grains like amaranth and sorghum. I'm going to be doing in in Hawaii so other possible feedstuffs would be coconut, papaya...
