Ok it says to stick to lower protien levels , I just bought a bag of gamebird feed with 21% protien becuase they didnt have the chick starter I use and I have chicks now as well as quail and will have more chicks later. WIll my adult chickens be ok with this amount of protien , I rarely feed them snacks besides a slice of multi grain bread or some un sugard cereal as they have proven them selves picky eaters and alot of the stuff people say chickens love mine turn there nose up at.

Got a new 50# bag of feed can some one put up the steps for dummies again please?
Also I have a bottle of apple cider vineger but what is UP apple cider viniger?

Unpasturised
Pasturised has all the good stuff killed in it. It needs to have the *mother*. Hence the UPACV

find a container..lets say it is 1 gallon

add about 1/3 container of dry feed
1 teaspoon of UPACV
cover feed with water
stir
check in two hours and recover in water

you can feed right away, when you feed, estimate 1/4 cup per bird for average size LF birds feed 2x day
replace dry feed and water daily

Quote: Wondering what other grains I can get from feed mill besides the mash for my layers to add to the bucket??? do you have a list, I cant find one!

 

[gabrielle1976]

Im not sure sally. Have you checked around loccally for small breweries that may let you have some of there spent grain? I found one but its about 30 minutes away so I have to figure out transportation . If it costs me more to get it then it saves me in feed I guess it would defete the pourpos

Sorry folks, but let it die I am getting tired of waiting.
