Eastern Tennessee Thread

Does anyone here grow fodder for their animals.

Sounds like a great ideal, especially if automated.

I am sure that if anyone has it would be Rodney, Hannah, Terry or Daph.

Here is a link to the discussion: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/713334/growing-fodder-for-chickens

Seems like a good way to keep them green food for the winter.

Geesh, guys. I leave you alone for a DAY and look what happens.

Glad the thread's reopened. I don't know what I'd do without my "Eastern Tennessee" fix.

Grawg, that story about the duckling is so SAD. I had a little wheatie that was like that. He was always recuperating from some mishap or other. He finally died when he broke his neck flying into the roof of the coop, as best we can figure. He was still a juvenile, too. His name was Shadow because he always followed us around like, well, a shadow.

I am with Daphne: I bail for a day & look what happens. I am, as usual, confused. I hope I am not commenting on whatever caused the thread to close. We all have our own views & ways we deal with predators. I am in the camp of extreme action. I think most all animals are beautiful in there own way but when one starts or attempts to prey on my livestock we will do our best to eliminate the problem.

What Happy said is correct. I lost my temper in my desire to defend against people you would write such things and should have just used the report flag instead of responding

Better me getting my hands slapped than you guys though.

So anyway...

I went into lock down on the eggs. Fingers crossed we dont get too many that were late quitters. Lost just a few to not being fertile out of 18. Candled the rest for the last time at 2 weeks and saw nothing but solid mass..so I know they were going strong up to that point.
