well, I tried to catch up this morning on the 35 posts before I had to leave but that was a no go. i am sure there will be at least a hundred more when I get home tonight. Have a great day all. See ya later.

I know it gives off some gases. I have no idea what. My Dad use to warn us as kids to stay away from the freshly filled silo.  Every year or two we would hear about a farmer that went into the silo too soon and died. I am guessing that means whatever gas it is  heavier than air to get trapped in the silo itself.

Carbon dioxide is heavier than air so I can imagine that a silo could become heavy with co2 and you could asphyxiate

Going back to talking about buying grains and things, after my vacation next week is when I plan to make some calls around to different feed mills in the area. If anyone is interested I might ask about larger bulk orders, which i would be happy to split with one or more people to help share some savings. I'm looking to beat farm store pricing.
Things I am inquiring about are:
Oats
Wheat
Barley
Milo/millet
BOSS
Layer mash/ration

I would recommend you keep turning the straw as it dries to prevent mold growth

My birds are loving it, the month old chicks are following mom around, she goes under a pine tree and warms them up frequently though.

I am going to try convince him to take two since he has so many hens and maybe a third since the other could be mean.
