The Natural Chicken Keeping thread - OTs welcome!

[Leahs Mom]

How come I didn't get a birthday song? (At your age it would be..."Happy Birthday to GRANDMA" ...for me.)

Thanks for the welcome, especially to MB and LeahsMom

Since I'll be feeding a bagged chick crumble for a while and probably won't start FF, I decided to make some healthy treats I can keep in the freezer for supplements. I took about 2 cups of the chick crumble, added a tablespoon of cayenne, garlic powder and oregano, and poured the bacon grease from breakfast over it. SInce I'll be putting a chicken in the crockpot in a bit, I was thinking of chopping the liver up and a bit of raw meat and some chopped spinach and adding it to the mixture. Then I'll press it flat in a ziplock bag and put it in the freezer. That way I can break off pieces for during the week. Sound OK? Since I work so many hours during the week, all prep work needs to be done on the weekends.

Any suggestions on what else I should add? (Already have some Braggs ACV for the water.)

PS: Love the chick pics and love the "cats watching chicken TV" above Sally8.

welcome to the thread!

We're in New Haven, MI. North of Detroit.

Quick question too. Do pumpkin seeds have a similar deworming quality for birds as they do for rabbits?

 

[Leahs Mom]

They're supposed to (pumpkin seeds). I think there is controversy on that, but most believe that they do!

Can't ask for much more for a birthday! I like the video.

My husband let the chickens out this morning but didn't give them their handful of grain. They started lining up on the porch rail and several were on the deck below the window. The cats were watching their own chicken tv.



aoxa = the little gray chick is sizzled but it appears that the yellow one is not.

Definitely sizzle! And a very cute one at that! Can't wait to see it fully feathered. Oh how I miss my sizzles <3
