"@OrganicFarmWife" we have seen this and plan on using something similar for chicks out into the run area off of the coop with the tunnel leading back into their crate within the coop.

@Beekissed great article on FF I think I will start a batch tonight. For our feed we are mixing laying formula with whole corn kernels. @Tiktok mentions fermenting what you are feeding. Do you know if the process would work with full kernels?
We are looking at our garden beds and are going to construct them to the dimensions of our tractor so the girls can help during the winter. They would completely free range if we could let them but city says they have to be in cage. I hope we don't disturb laying too much by rotating 2 at a time to spend the day in the tractor????
Cool!"@OrganicFarmWife" we have seen this and plan on using something similar for chicks out into the run area off of the coop with the tunnel leading back into their crate within the coop.
We sometimes compare our egg prices to those of the cheap commercial eggs when we should compare them to the "Pastured" or "freerange" egg prices.@klopklop. Not too worried about making money just tracking eggs to cost in store pure $ so we are comparing cheap eggs to our higher quality yes but it is an exercise of income replacement.
We have been switching out hens with friends who aren't laying. Bad thing is some I just gave away started laying for my friend hut what I got in return has not as of yet.
Did have one other hen join the party today so 2 laying now hopefully.
We will keep plugging along. The will help the garden too and I'm not sure how to count that as I don't normally pay for manure but now I will have some.
