There is someone on CL with CCL in your neck of the woods but I don't think I have seen pics of the birds...... just make sure you get good birds.  I have Wheaten and Blue Wheaten Ams - chicks or eggs in 3 weeks would be ok right now.

CL?

I feed all my birds it, turkey, guineas and chickens, even the goats eat it.

Do you feed it to your babies or do you still buy starter?

 

[Oramman87]

No not to the chicks I get a 50lb of chick starter 50lb layer crumbles and a bag of whoop em. I mix the layer crumbles and whoop em for my egg layers and my banties. All the free rangers have to beat the neighbors goats for there food in the morning.

You can feed chicks FF no problems.

I need to look into that some more. I've grown people sprouts, so fodder will be easy, haven't checked fermented grain, but I'm guessing it is along the same lines.

I just have too many birds for any of that stuff to be practical for me.... one day maybe. Fodder would be more fun.... but the mold thing makes it really hard here I would think.

I really want to use sprouts for my chickens in the winter. I would love to see examples of a good larger scale set up. I sprouted some seeds this winter, but with the small container I had, it wasn't worth the effort.
