Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

[aoxa]

I talk to myself, only person that understands me. . . . .

  As to an LGD, they are OK for ground crawlers but for aerial bombers try guineas, when they let out a squawk every body in our flock heads for cover, no questions asked.

I could not handle the noise they make.

Me neither. I really enjoy the quietness of my flock and could not imagine that horrible racket happening all day long. Plus, I find them to be incredibly ugly. My grandma used to keep them but we could never figure out why...nasty, noisy things.

Where is your sense of humor? They isn't ugly, they be cute. . . .

No idea what birds grandma had but mine aren't that noisy except when something disturbs them, then is does seem to get everyones attention.

but then that is why we have them, ain't no hawk coming near them!!!!

At the poultry shows my ears bleed.

Like someone rubbing the serrated edge of a hand saw blade against another piece of metal or the scratching of an eating fork over and over on a china plate...the metallic screeching is enough to make one wish for a soothing recording of nails on chalkboards to get away from the pain of the listening of it.

Their feather patterns are pretty.. That's about all I like about the species.

If I wanted something that loud, I'd go with Peafowl.

I googled images of Guineas. There is one that is actually pretty. Vulturine Guinea Fowl..

Though the sounds would still be enough to make me steer very clear from them

Aren't PeaFowl hard to keep contained though?

Catching up from the weekend...I'm 54 (birthday's in January) and just starting the FF process. My first batch is cooking/fermenting. I go through 150 pounds of feed each week, so I'm very much looking forward to the advantages of FF!

I've been curious if there is such a thing as too young for FF. I am planning to get some chicks in another month or two, I'm assuming they will ship as day olds and they aren't coming far. Can I just give 'em FF from day one? (or day 3 it might be when they get to me)

my birds go on it from day 1. you notice the feathering grows out much faster. the poop is solid firm with less smell.
