BYC AWARDS - DONT FORGET TO NOMINATE BYC FRIENDS AND BYC SPIRIT AWARDS

USE THIS FORM


Please use this form to nominate a BYC Member for one of the BYC Awards below. Only one member can be nominated per form submission. All fields must be completed or the nomination will be voided. Members cannot nominate themselves. Members may place in nomination a maximum of four (4) members per month; however, you may nominate only one (1) member per award category per month:
1) BYC Educator – This is now a Staff awarded accolade. We have changed this award to reflect only the highest standards. Only those who adhere to the highest standards of knowledge and education will be considered for this award. While nominations will be accepted for this award, the Staff will thoroughly vet each person and only those who meet/exceed the Staff's high criteria will be awarded the Educator Badge. Nominees must, among other points, have a verifiable reputation of providing information more than just "common knowledge," assist members in a positive and courteous manner, be open to feedback without getting defensive, and should maintain their good standing with little disciplinary action for rules violation.
2) BYC Friend – These individuals are just plain fun and great to have around! They are our favorite comedians and enablers; our most cluckative. They are always accessible to lend a cordial and helping hand. Their enthusiasm encourages us, their empathy comforts us.
3) BYC Spirit – These individuals best demonstrate ALL-AROUND outstanding service and commitment to the BYC members and community. While maybe not “expert” educators, they are trusted Educators nonetheless, as well as Friends to all. They are dedicated to the BYC Community as a whole, and strive to help promote, support and uphold its values and goals.
4) BYC Greeter - These individuals are our BYC "Welcome Wagon!" They are the members that are most active in welcoming the new members to our community, especially in the "New Member Introductions" forum. Nominees will be judged on a) How long they've been welcoming new members; b) How many new members they welcome; and c) The quality and friendliness of their welcome.
 
Oz, my point is that with a 50g egg, every gram is 2%, makes for lousy accuracy. Discarding eggs can be taken into account, although it makes the math a bit more complicated.

Deb, yeah, she has this troubled look all the time. Quite suiting, considering her name is Vaiva (Trouble)
 
The eggs not hatching aren't only the shipped white bresse eggs, but ee's from my backyard pullets too :(

I have actually only been able to hatch my own eggs. The bresse are on day 22 or 23, so I'm very distraught. I put them in on the 13th. At 4pm. Fwiw

grape pommace's biggest problem is digestability nothing on chickens but some stuff on ruminants

Winery pomace including stalks has little value in animal feeding. Its chemical composition is similar to other types of winery pomace, but the digestibility of fibre is much lower and its nutritive value is comparable to that of straw.
Winery pomace from stalked grapes has been fed to dairy cows in amounts up to 6.5 kg a day. When supplemented with concentrates and legume hay, it proved to be a good feed. At this level of inclusion the milk yield tends to drop and the butterfat content increases. Larger amounts cause inflammation of the mucosa in the digestive system.
Okay, both of you. Please interpret in simple English

- Is it worth me going to talk to my local winery, or would I be wasting my time? I would just be adding it as a part of their feed and would continue with the all flock and other things that I currently feed. I figured anything I might be able to add that was free might lower my feed bill.
 
Peahen update... day three of treatment and she's not dead yet! Yesterday I though for sure she wasn't gonna make it, but she seems a little better today and was actually standing at the food bowl.
