Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

I had a couple of show girls for a short time and that skin on their necks is the most velvety textured skin you can imagine, similar, IMO to how the skin just behind the nostrils on a horse feels! Very very soft.

Yes their neck skin actually feels good to the touch warm and soft.

Like old people skin? Very soft!

Not as fragile as old people skin, but yes has a very similar feel wrinkles and all! lol

Yes...3 teens can put down the food!

That's why I grew my own foods, to try and keep up with that constant grazing. Three big boys hoovering up all the food in the house is like feeding a plague of locusts.

LOL @ the comment feeding a plague of locusts!

you outta control as my daughter says.

Just wondering... did any of you hear a scream a little while ago? Well maybe more of a YELL! LOL I'm sitting here and I hear one of my dogs howling and the other barking so I figured the coyotes are out back yelping. I went to the back door to see if I could hear them. I opened the door and there was a tree frog inside on the glass of the storm door. I'm like "ahh gross" and I get a stick to poke him and make him GET OUT. What does the crazy frog do? It jumps on me!!! Now they are kind of neat and yes totally harmless BUT they stick on you like glue! They are fine UNTIL THEY GET ON ME! It jumped toward me (I thought ON me) - I yell and shuck my shirt and throw it in the floor! Then I pick my shirt up and throw it outside! Sorry but if the Pope had been standing there he would have seen boobies flying! LOL The whole time I'm having a gross out (and laughing) meltdown then I go to the bathroom and make sure it is not in my hair (YIKES!!!) or on my pajama pants! I go back to make sure it's not in the house and it meets me in the middle of the kitchen floor! I got a hand towel to toss over it then picked it up and threw the towel out the door. He hopped off so I rescued my shirt and towel! Long sigh... even country girls have their weaknesses.

Btw, I don't know what the dogs were barking at. No doubt I scared it off and scared the dogs because they are quiet now.

YUP same thing happens here to and hubby and the daughter just howls in laughter at me! They ALWAYS jump on me and I take off the other way when I even see one now because I KNOW it sees a sign on me that says jump on her!

And let me tell you, cock roaches do the VERY SAME thing! I give them PLENTY of space to! I was out in the chicken pen the other night to shut their back gate when I looked up ON THE ROOF just about where I was standing and there was a cock roach! I gave him/her some space and it got out of my way so I could turn the light back off before I left out the door. chills......

There are THREE of the things out there now IN their food bowl! Nothing in it but the things are eating what's on the walls of the bowl. I HATE those things and do wish I knew of SOMETHING I could get rid of them with!

I have trouble with some kind of roach outside here too. About anything I pick up off the ground has at least one under it. Yuck! In the spring they try their best to get in the house. Now and then I use to find one in the kitchen which is close to the back door. It would freak me out because I sure don't want them in here! Well... I bought some of those plug-in electronic doodads that emit a high pitched sound that is supposed to run off mice, roaches, etc. By golly they work! I put two in the kitchen and the roaches don't even come in anymore! It was about $20 for four of them I think, and well worth it! I found them in the garden center at Walmart.

Suppose to be getting power ran out there soon but worry if the plug in thing would effect the chickens and cats and dog since they would be able to hear that I think. ??? Yep that sounds like the cock roaches as we call them. Some folks call them woods roaches as well. I can't stand those things and no telling WHAT kind of funk they carry either! ughhhhh

I might have to get me some of those for inside the house to! lol

The package says they are safe for "non-rodent" pets. I'm not sure about chickens but they might work okay around them. These are "Bell + Howell, Ultrasonic Pest Repellers".

...speaking of naked chickens, check the pics of "Kung Fu Henny" posted by Zazouse at this link. Disturbing and funny! lol
