Thank you. Everything around here is rustic. We even have a business called Rustic Barnyard. DH makes barnwood furniture and I paint furniture. I should really get a signature going so people can see what else we do.

Yes, you should! And you should also start marketing your rustic chicken feeder troughs...and make some a little deeper for little planters for those who don't even have chickens. Maybe even get some little burlap bags and market some starter kits for fermented feed...a little bag of chick starter, a little bottle of mother vinegar and a small pamphlet of instructions and explanations as to the benefits...and include the link to one of the FF threads here on BYC so they can explore the method further.![]()
Good idea Bee.Thanks! DH does make planters. But they have been bigger. But what a great idea to make them look like troughs!!
I like the idea of educating about FF too.
Do you let yours free range? Bee free ranges hers and I do mine as well.So its been two days of feeding the FF. Though it's more just wet feed right now since it's only been in the water 2 days. my question is how much is enough to feed them. I feed in the morning around 8 am. The feed is usually gone by 10-12. Does this mean I'm not giving enough? I have 12 birds and today I gave them about 3/4 of an ice cream pail of feed. Is this enough? Its hard to judge since they've been on a self feeder forever.
I was just thinking if you don't free range yours might need more food since ours free range but Bees the expert here.Ok I'll cut down on what I give them. Do I still just feed 1x per day?
No they don't free range. I lost my entire previous flock to some predator so I am leaving them in the run. They have a good sized run though.
