I am researching alternative feed for poultry and livestock. I just found that Madre de Agua a some kind of tree also good as animal feed. I gathered some picture so that I could check inthe woods near our house if theres some growing. Just like the previous searched on the web I saw the Noni plant which they said a good medicinal plant. The Noni plant looks familiar and later I found some growing in the woods near the creek. So this time, as I continue to research about Madre de Agua.

I found this interesting articles about Madre de Cacao which is endemic in our country:

Madre de Cacao can be used as fence, insecticide, rat poison and it also fixes nitrogen in the soil.

Other great livestock feeds are Kamonsil, Ipil Ipil (in limited quantities), mulunggay, leaves from mulberry and jackfruit trees. a perrenial called flemingia macrophylla (laclay-guinan, gewawini, malabalatong )

we have started kamonsil, ipil ipil, black mulberry and mulunggay on our farm, primarily for goats

The roo that caused the leghorn with blue legs was in fact a white bresse. 

I just had him evicted from the coop. Fortunately I did not sell any leghorns during the past 8 weeks - just the freebies you guys got. 

I will include the "leghorn with blue legs" in the mixed breed birds. 

Unless you are going for a leghorn, the cross should be a heavier super egg layer. 

 

@ozexpat how about my white chick? It does not have blue nor yellow legs, it has pink legs

Most yellow legged or white legged birds will have pink legs if they are still chicks.

Thanks. I did not know jackfruit leaves can be animal feeds also.

I found out because our new Saanen goat buck was being fed them in transport.

and yellow legged hens' legs will be almost white when they are just prior to molting and be bright yellow as they restart laying

His official name is MRM-Chabichoux named after a goat cheese.

Saanens always seem to look skinny but Cnabi is growing and gaining weight. They are the heaviest of dairy breeds

He is giving attention to the girls so thats a good thing
