Demo you are so good at taking the time to explain it.. Very well I might add.. Hugs & kiss's to the family.. Oh buy the way, my neighbor brought over wild bird seed.. She brings her grandson to feed & look at the flock.. They did like it so I went out & got a 20 pound bag for $15.00 As a treat.. Spoiled little brats.. Happy new year. I will post up an new years invite in a bit.Quote:
Interestingly enough, most anyone here more than a month knows about this because we discuss it fairly regularly...(Sorry, Internet Explorer doesn't let me do those fancy smileys...) Yeah, that sounded too harsh. Sorry about that!
There are quite a few of us, both here in Phoenix and Tucson that order every time. They deliver every two months and you'll get the EMail with the order form about the three to four weeks before the delivery. Make sure you keep track of what you ordered, because you won't get a confirmation back. There is supposedly a copy of the order sheet at the delivery site, but I didn't find one last time I went. Also, get with people in your area. There are three of us in my area that share the duties and alternate picking up the loads. I'm in the Northwest Valley, so hit me up you want in on it. This coming cycle is not mine, but we'll get you in on the group if you want.
Yes, the feed is absolutely great and it's amazing that it can be cheaper than the junk at the local pet store even. I ferment ours as well and the flock absolutely devours it. Heck, even the rabbits are getting in to the fermented feed rather than their pellets. Do NOT use the order form that LadyKotaDoria posted, however. He sends a new order form out ever cycle. If you notice the information on the form she linked you too, it references the old due date in November and the December delivery period. That'll give you a great idea of what is available and what the prices are, though. As you scroll down, you'll notice all the human-consumable products also.
If you want to get in on the fermenting, pop over to the Fermented Feed for Meat Birds thread. It's the same exact thing used for laying hens, turkeys, etc, so don't worry about the title. To be quite honest, it's more of a discussion on absolutely everything, much like this Arizona thread. I can't keep up anymore, but the information is great. Alternately, you can check out Natural Chicken Keeping's blog about it as well. Hers has more information compressed in to a small three-part series. After doing it this last year, I can never, ever go back to the dry feed. It's just that much of a difference.
