Saw you working so hard over there!Got wooden posts cemented in the ground over the weekend and put most of the run fence up today. But now I'm wide awake..
I think I will end up doing FF feed. Especially if I ever do meaties. Didn't realize that there couldn't be animal protein in it.
Hey y'all. I thought I'd just say "hey". I'm from Louisiana and I've been lurking a bit. Just thought I'd say a quick hello and try to get to know some of my neighbors here.
I'm fairly new to raising poultry. I have inspected plenty of them, though, and worked the kill floor! I was a meat inspector for 10 years before going back to school. I am really info hungry right now!!
We currently just have ducks (as far as poultry goes - but have horses, donkey, dog, house cat, too). I have grown very attached to the ducks and ducklings! I am wanting to get some geese and chickens now, too. However, much to my husbands dismay! LOL. But I always win out!
Anyway, hello to everyone!
As of right now, I only have a three extra black silkie chicks. I do have a hen due to hatch about a dozen any day now, so I may get some more colors from that! I travel to Lafayette about once per month, so that would save you about an hours worth of drive time if you wanted to pick them up. Or I can ship them to you if you want to pay for a box and a heat pack. Send me a PM if you are interested, and we can surely work something out!What colors and age Silkies do you have right now? I might be interested in getting a couple from you.
The look on your Lab's face is priceless!!!!

For all of you interested in fermented feed, this is a great thread to read. Animal protein (at least fish meal) is fine if you are fermenting properly. Please post any questions on the thread. The people there are tremendously helpful!
