    Favorite/Best Online Seed Shop?

    I’ve been sifting through the seed places near me since it’s the time of the year where everything is on sale looking for some of the things I want to plant next year. Some of the more obscure things aren’t sold at my local places so I’m venturing online, but I’ve never seed shopped online...

    Food "Forest" Ideas?

    What to grow in a grazing bed in Florida?

    After losing one of my girls to an unknown predator, we no longer let them free range without constant supervision and extended the run by 20ft. Since they'll now be spending most of their day inside the run, I plan to build a 2ftx9ft grazing bed with removable hardware cloth top. I occasionally...

    Seed Identification - Cover Crop Mix

    I got a sampling of cover crop mix at a seed swap year before last and I'm not sure what is in the mix. Can anyone else identify the different seeds? I'm pretty sure I see clover (small balls) and triticale (long seeds). Are the large balls peas of some variety? What could they be? Thanks!

    Cherry Tree Poisonous for Chickens?

    We had a random tree sprout up in our yard a year ago and it’s grown fast! It’s growing right next to our chicken coop/run. We’re not positive on what it is but someone thinks it’s a Cherrychoke tree? I tried looking it up and maybe it’s an Amur Cherrychoke? I’ve attached pictures. I read that...

    Best pigeon food?

    I have a female pigeon (around 4 or 5 months old now I'd say), whom I rescued when she was around 2 weeks old. She was originally wild, but had fallen out of her nest in our barn, and I was unable to put her back in it as it was too high up. Anyways, I was wondering what the best food was to be...

    Seed blocks?

    Hi all! My gregarious Toms and Hens (5 of them all together) just absolutely LOVE mealworms! They like the 20% pellets and cracked corn, but only eat it a little and then they come up to my front porch or front door and gobble because they want more mealworms. A 30 oz bag of mealworms costs...
