Thanks to Diana and Lisa for convincing me to join. Can't wait to get my flocks started.

Loma, somehow I missed you! I've been hanging out with Diane today a bit. Your new birds are beautiful! My daughter loves your little hen. We're from Logan, too.

Welcome Loma Glad you found us.

OK I have a Photo bomb. Making up for my lack of photos lately haha!

Just sorted out my breeding hens for Spring. Hope you guys don't mind, my family is getting sick of me texting them pictures so you guys will be my victims today

Marans! And Girls!!! woohoo!

Blue Coppers

This one is Snickers Love her copper it is pretty. Check out this comb! You'd think she was a he....but nope.

A growout looking pretty good, named SPUD She's got some nice Andalusian coloring the blue feathers are darker around the tips, pretty...

Ok then I want an opinion here, is this one too blonde? I really like her type and she lays the best egg but she is pretty light.
This is Twix

Then this one is still waiting for her copper. She has a black feather in her tail but I still might use her. (Sorry for the posing in front of the poopy board lol! They roost above that area a lot. This is Bev

A nice black, named Gypsy. My blacks are huge this year, I don't know why...but the females are looking to be 8-9 pounds already.

A Splash Marans! Appropriately named "Cruella DeVille" LOVE her.

An Olive Egger that I really like. She is already laying, yay! Her name is Dixie. Again choosing the lovely backdrop

Then here is Yolanda, my White face black Spanish, She is best sweetest thing ever. loves people so I had to post a pic

Then here are a couple more frizzled silkies that ended up being female

Then lastly two of my Showgirl growouts went to the big girl pen today, pretty sure both showgirls are really girls...

Has anyone ever fermented chicken feed . If so how did it go ? Can you use tap water?

 

[iPickYupik]

Oh man.... I had a blast hanging out with RJ, Karol and Diane at the chicken show but I'm going home with way too many birds! Lol. My first auction and I went a little crazy! Brown red modern game trio, birches modern game trio and a pair of Diane's seramas all from the auction.

I do fermented feed. I use tap water. I've done it for a little over a year. I feed fermented twice a day and free feed dry food.

I just ferment in an old ice cream bucket. When I add more feed and water to it, I add more apple cider vinegar too (like a small glug). I find if I don't add more vinegar, I really don't like the way it smells. In the winter I had to move it in the garage or it freezes solid.

Yes! Start using bragg's raw apple cider vinegar. There is a thread on Byc with instructions. I like it but just get lazy in the summer and forget ...but I do it more in the winter and they really like it. Fodder too
