I feed mine free choice, meaning I put out more than they'll eat between feedings.

You can keep the feed in the bucket indefinitely . What I do is just add more feed and water to the bucket now and then as needed, and keep the batch going forever.

Thanks. So do you feed them more than once a day? I just gave it to them this morning. They gobbled it up like it was a treat. But, I did not put the dry food away in case they are still hungry. We have a rat living in the coop and I want to remove the food so that he/she can starve. We have set multiple traps but the bugger keeps stealing the food off the trap.

Strangest call to date was someone asking if I sold donkeys.  After a few questions I let them talk to my 3 yr old who happened to be asking for the phone at just hte right time.

Normally though if I don't have what the person wants, I'll give them a name and number of a person that might have it. 

I could use a peacock and peahen breeders name and number.

 

I have breeding Peas but have yet to get an egg, I expect them soon and will be setting every one of them! I can't keep them all though soo...you can send them my way and I will talk with them. Also check with @pbirdhaven.

I fill their trough in the morning before I leave for work, and top it up in the afternoon when I get home. There's usually just a little left in the morning when I go to refill it. It took me some trial and error to figure out how many scoops my flock will eat in a day. I would say start off with more than you think they need, and adjust every few days or so.

I'd give our your info if you want but most of the people that call me are in central Indiana or quite close to that area.

I have a question regarding my rooster. Almost every one of my 10 hens have bald red butts. I have looked for parasites, and anything else I can think of. They have been like this for awhile so, I'm thinking this could be from my roo being a little [or a lot] aggressive. Is this at all possible?
