I'm new to this group but I've been lurking for the past year. Years ago, we raised Jersey Giants and Khaki Campbells but our allergic son didn't tolerate eggs from either, so we are raising organic Muscovy ducks for eggs and meat, starting a year agoorganic. Last September's ducklings are now...
Hi!
I'm near Bristol UK and have an organic farm selling mainly vegetables. I'm experimenting with chickens for eggs and have had 5 chickens for nine months but am still very much a beginner! They are ex commercial hybrids (Bovans Goldline type I think?? Tan/brown ones!). Just introducing a...
HEY ALL,
So as of yesterday I am officially a proud step-dad to some ducklings! Momma did a fantastic job sitting and now mothering! Super excited for this new journey. Anyways, as I was picking up some starter feed, I realized the store I was in had some organic feed. After seeing the price...
Hello, I am going to be processing more chickens than I can handle myself and am seeking a good processor for them who is humane, etc. I am seeking my organic certification and that is a factor as well. Any Ideas? Dayton, Springfield area. Thanks.
Hello! In January I inducted myself into the world of poultry ownership when I bought my first chickens - thirteen Ameraucanas & one Golden Laced Wyandotte! Today, they are nine weeks old and have gone through three different feeds. So I’ve been wondering, what is the best feed for them...
Hello everyone, I'm new here.
In the distant past, I kept a few chickens, ducks and rabbits...well, 40 rabbits. In the recent past, I've had only one chicken at a time which was enough eggs. Yesterday I finally got the breed I wanted - 6 Buff Orpingtons (driving my dogs crazy and keeping...
Hi, I am not new to chickens, but having recently acquired a few chicks a few months ago. The deeper I get into the GMO demise, the mote I want to know exactly where my food is coming from. So I am interested in how to get going on mixing my own feed for my girls. Would love to hear the journey...

What kinds of scraps can I not feed my birds if I want to sell my eggs as organic or does it matter as long as I'm not directly giving them medicated feed?
Hi everyone! I've had my sweet flock since last March (4 girls: dominique, buff orpington, australorpe and an ameraucana). The dom, buff, and australorpe are happy, healthy, and great egg layers.
Heres my problem: the Ameraucana (about year and 1/2 old) now lays one very thin-shelled egg MAYBE...
Hi there, I am new to keeping chicks, and my first week of experience has been extremely disheartening. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
tl;dr 2 out of 6 4-week-old chicks have died, 2 look like they're at death's door. Providing they survive, can I safely integrate the 2...
A big part of the reason I have layers and am attempting meat birds is so I can control the quality of my food that comes out of them. That means what I put into them needs to be high quality, too. For me, that means soy-free, organic, and lower corn would be nice. Unfortunately, between my job...
I am in the process of switching my chicks from starter to layer feed. When visiting the local tsc I noticed there are several options when making this switch. Crumble vs pellet, organic vs non, regular feed with oyster shell on side vs layena. This was bit of a suprise with all the options. I...

Anybody know of anyone that sells natural candles or soaps? Natural being like soy, goat's milk, etc. etc., anything other than the chemical laden store ones. I don't have issues using store soaps but get headaches from scented candles, etc. and I'd just like to try to be more natural or healthy...
