Poor Polish :(   My little white bantam Frizzle just started dropping feathers by the handful 2 days ago.  Like seriously???  In the middle of winter.  She doesn't have any bare spots yet but I bet she isn't done yet.  I guess its time for more beans and scrambled eggs.  That is what I have been giving them when someone is molting and it seems to have been really helping them get nice feathers in.  I also add anything else that is around that's good nutritious eats.  I am just glad that she is housed in the greenhouse right now.  :rolleyes:   Goofy girl.

Do you soak and cook the beans? Half of my crew is in some form of molt. A really rough bunch right now. But, Irish is the worst!!

Waiting on Santa. Sleeping in Amanda's room at her house, the only night of the year I do that. Food already out for the rain deer and for Santa.

The gumbo was delicious.

Can I give the girls canned beans for protein?

Gotta go, Amanda thinks Santa won't come if I'm texting. Lol

I moved them tonight to a 6'X10' pen I covered in plastic like a green house. I put a farm barn heater in with them in the pen. Their new nesting box is a tote with a hole in it. For the next couple of weeks she doesn't need Thelma and her blood thirsty gang after the peeps. Mary is a Buff Orpington and 5th from the bottom of the picking order. I wish I could have a rooster to help her out with the kids. Well when I move I will be able to have some roosters.

My mom was at the head of the table to night, she gave thanks to have one more Christmas, with only half a working heart. We had even a greater present, mom was all there and as alert and quick as ever. Steve, adjusted her meds so she could have this evening. Meds, sleep, and a number of factors goes into her mental state. It was wonderful, something wonderful to remember.

Legumes are toxic to chickens raw. You need to cook them first. This type of protein is hard for them to digest. So, yes, if you cook them first. Fish meal and other meats are better. I try not to buy feed with soy. It is that thing were people think chickens are vegetarian. I will cook up cheep frozen fish for them to add to their diet. Sence so many fresh water fish carry Parasites cooking makes good sence. If I had the ability to fish I would keep a few extra to feed to my girls. Cooked fish Bones are dangerous. I have been told there is a why to make the bones edable, but do not know how to do prepair it. On the other hand you can grind the bones and give it to chickens in their feed. (That is a lot of work).

I'm glad you had a good time with your mother and she was really there. Merry Christmas. I don't feed mine beans there is a page somewhere on this site what foods they can and can't eat. I don't feed soy either its the most geneticly modified food. I really hope we can get a co-op of organic food or grains I'll make my own food. I wish everyone a happy holiday. Pam
 
Merry Christmas!!!!! May your day be filled with family and friends. Santa brought both of my boys sling shots. We are about to go outside and try them out. How long before they think tryng to shoot each other is a good idea????
