"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

I ordered my non-GMO seeds from www.victory seeds.com I got vegetables and they also have flowers but I didn't shop for grass. Worth looking at though. I just thinned my lettuce seedlings and my baby chicks loved them. It felt good knowing they were organic.

Oh thanks! I just had a quick look and saw they have red clover. I will have to see what I can find and then make sure its good for chickens. Looks like they have lots of neat kinds.

Try wheat or oats from your local feed store. Just make sure that the are feed wheat/oats and haven't been crushed. Through the winter I have been sprouting feed wheat for extra greens. Locally it is about $9.50 for a 50lb bag.

I am allergic to wheat, so that is out. And the feed store only has steam crushed oats.

That is who told me that they only had the steam rolled oats. But it was the young guy that told me that, lol. I will ask again next time I go. It can't hurt. Thanks

You know, now that you mention that.  I am in need of finding a source for some CLEAN chemical free seeds of whatever type........something that I can plant in the chicken garden beds so that they can munch happily on something grassy.  I have plenty of seeds for foods we eat but most are larger leafed plants and won't grow up well through the wire we are covering their little vegetable garden beds with.  I have been looking and so far have not happened upon anything yet.......

There is an organic forage blend for chickens at Grow Organic. http://www.groworganic.com/omega-3-chicken-forage-blend-irrigated.html

For those of you looking for non-GMO and organic grains or chicken feed, I order through Azure Standard. I order 50 lb bags of organic "chicken wheat" (has some broken bits) for sprouting for $17.50. They do not charge sales tax and shipping is 8.5% of your order. They have a ton of bulk items and also sell most products offered by Whole Foods, Freah Market & Trader Joes. The catch: there is no storefront. You order once per month and pick up your order at a designated drop location (planned well in advance). There are now drop locations throughout Louisiana. www.azurestandard.com . I would be happy to provide more information if anyone is interested.

I was recertified for the NPIP yesterday. The awesome state vets came out and did the testing in the nasty weather. They are always so professional and friendly!

Happy Friday!

TGIF La-yers! This has been a long, cold week but it's almost behind us now! There will be two young and very surprised EE pullets in my coop -- the little stinkers have been flying out every day, so tonight I will go out there after dark & clip wings. I'll put a stop to this nonsense!
