You will notice a big difference in the flavor of your eggs depending on
what you feed your chickens and remember what you feed your chickens
is what you get back so junk in junk out

Here I did this a few years ago I had some pink popcorn the kids
had as left overs so I gave it to the chickens to get rid of it and the egg's
these hens produced the following week had a pinkish color to the whites
so what I am getting to is what you feed your chickens is what you get back

These are some of mine, now I have all my animals for my
boys to enjoy and learn from and also to learn some
responsibility in the care and raising ......
If you notice the young chicks in the background my boys
helped in the gathering of the egg's to the incubator and on
to the point of where they are in this photo ...........


Enjoy your livestock

I got worms... From uncle Jims (http://unclejimswormfarm.com)
To find out how to raise them just google the species you are interested in.
I've never used the commercial beds or systems advertised, I am strictly for doing it on the cheap and low tech.
I have found that mealworms are the easiest to raise.
They will eat oatmeal and wheat bran along with a carrot every couple of days for moisture.
Bought a 20 pound sack of wheat bran at the feed store two years ago and still have half left after 10,000 plus worms.
Some people sort the worms out but when I feed my chooks I just scoop out a big serving of everything, worms, beetles, and larva and toss it on the ground.
Super easy and if all else fails you can eat your worms if you have to

Do the worms make the eggs better or do the chickens just like them?
