How much does the second one weigh? The first one fought me for 10 minutes before I threw his ugly butt on the ground.

2nd one is about half the size of the 1st, but you can't train the second Rock to smush dux on its own.

thats awesome!! Cant wait to see what else you come up with!!

i wonder if @TheAngryEagleKiwi could help you with making it work ??

Thank you!

But unfortunately I probably won't be able to help them either, as I'm not that good at stuff like that (But I do hope it will get solved soon, as I am considering making an animated avatar for myself, haha)

I know someone not needing to see anymore of them.....just saying...

Would you like one with a guillotine?

That would be so cool!! Could we have it show the dux head roll away into the sunset?

Hehe, while I personally don't mind ducks (they're pretty cute) I do think it would be fun to draw the guillontine idea (No promises, though, since it could be hard to do and I also need to work on art people has ordered from me, haha)

FF is my sandpaper on a chalk board thing. It is a fad that has been picked up and become a religion to some.

There is no science behind it. When you ferment you change the protein/carb/nutrient levels of feed that has been designed by scientific methods over the years to provide a balanced diet.

You cannot find a credible study for it anywhere. I have searched and I found one, that said it was basically bunk, then they threw a bone to the FF crowd and said "it might make the gut more hostile to parasites"..... I think it was a University in Ireland that did the study.


What most people don't realize is FF was started by the energy companies. They started distilling corn for gasohol, with that came a ton of byproducts.

They started marketing this byproduct as the perfect livestock feed, (thus making money from their garbage)... and never expected to find such a Jones like cult following like they have for FF...




Whew... I normally try to avoid the FF conversation, other than my normal, I don't do it barb. BUT now I am on a roll..

The science of adding water, yeast and fermenting will give you more nutrition, more volume and make the feed go further just goes against the most basic chemistry class in the world.

I am amazed at how many intelligent people bought into it.

I really do not care what people feed their birds, just don't push pseudo science onto me.


That said...YOU DON"T USE ACV for everything???

I even use it to cure Rickets and Cholera in my birds. It is great!

How did I miss this excellent post?

Another myth. Birds are perfectly designed to eat dry hard food. The crush it for hours between rocks grinding it into a powder almost...

I have heard/seen people justify FF with a ton of reasons, none make any sense. If a person wants to do it because it makes them "feel" like they are doing good, go for it...

"Feeling good about it" drives so much human behavior. How else can you account for the thousands of PETA members?

You are my hero!

I am with you on the FF. They will go after you though.

The one I love is when a hatch is bad and it looks like flock health could be a factor and they dismiss it because they feed FF. I suspect that FF will often not provide proper nutrition especially if good quality feed is not used. Fermenting cannot turn bad feed into good just like alchemy cannot turn base metals into gold
