Meal worms are the best.Rotting meat can pass botulism like tap dancing in a mine field keep on and you get the point.Cheers

I just got my seed order today! I got 5lbs of Field peas and oat mix, 5lbs of Sorghum, 1/2lb of soybeans, and 75 corn seeds. I'm also waiting on hairy vetch, and going to pick up BOSS, and a bag of millet bird seed to plant.
Picking up a bunch of straw bales today, and hope to get the beds together by next week. this week if possible.

Obviously not a long-term solution, more like a nice treat, but it rained here last night. It's spring. That means the termites are swarming. Happy to say my girls are busy greeting the termites as they enter the world above. Making quick work of those explicative

I tried to let mine out for the first time a couple days ago on a really nice day. They barely left the doorframe of the shed. However a lone mesquito flew past me towards the center of them like a moth to a flame. I think it dodged two beaks... LOL

I heard that on a video. I was wondering about the good bad and ugly.

I've been thinking about this lately as I have been having trouble finding cat food occasionally. I think it's a great topic.

I was thinking of a small fodder system but not sure what to grow.

Wheat grows well

HighMowingSeeds. They had everything I was looking for, and a good price for Organic seeds.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm an avid gardener and beginner permaculturist who's planning on raising quail in the near-ish future, and I'm intending to supplement their diet with home grown food; however, their higher protein requirements compared to chickens are making it somewhat difficult to decide what to grow. Siberian peashrub grown along one wall of their aviary could go a long way to supplementing their feed, but it's not nearly enough on its own; I'm also considering growing ragweed for the absurdly high protein content (up to 50% in some giant ragweed plants!), as well as various species of millet for carbohydrates. Any suggestions for other things I could grow for them?
