I'm not sure if it has been mentioned, but referring back to Jess' wet feed. If it is freshly wet, and hasn't started molding yet. You could freeze it, and just thaw it in small amounts.

I don't think anyone thought of this yet. It's a GREAT idea! If it were me, I'd say, "problem solved".

Or ferment it and feed it to them that way.

I got some great news tonight. Seems Jeanine / Cloverleaf farm

has made arrangements to have my plasma cutter repaired !

Not sure if I will get it back in time to get many more chicks done for Monroe but at least I will be back up and running before long.

Woo Hoo

Centraila gave you bad service? Wow. I've been dealing there for over a year or more. I have always found them helpful and willing. I've been there during the week and on Sat and when they were swamped with customers. On a 5 star rating I would give them a easy 5. Never had to load anything there myself. Don't even have to move the car/truck, they bring to me and then load it.

my brother and dad get great service there to. I don't. I kind of wonder if some of the workers there are scared of dogs. I have a service dog. Although that is a place that allows pets in anyway.

Little things can make me happy. Since our big back yard "remodel" last year, I realized I had probably done a disservice to the girls. But with chickens and a Golden Retriever at the time, our yard had turned to so much mud that I had a large brick patio installed with gravel paths all around. Of course, now there's very little area other than a few raised dirt beds for much to grow and you know how quickly any green gets eaten.

So I've decided to keep a steady supply of different seeds sprouted year round. I'm pretty excited about the selection I got and although I'd been saving jars I really like the stacked growing containers I found on Amazon while I was seed shopping.

I also plan to grow out 4- 6 different flats of grass and switch them out this summer for chicken salad bar. I have a nice mix of Omega 3 grass mix that the ladies were loving last year.

I have a 5 lb. can of mung bean sprouts and an assorted box of 12 different seeds for sprouting. DH and I plan to use some of these ourselves in sandwiches, soups, stir fry, etc., and the rest go to the flock.

Here's what I grew first! Fresh Alfalfa sprouts in our stacked containers -




And here's the box of assorted sprouting seeds - a smorgasboard!

This is so cool!

well I was candling the last 6 of my moms eggs that were supposed to go on lock down tomorrow. They ALL blood ringed. I think there is just something wrong with my moms eggs. I've hatched from her chickens before with a different rooster. Wondering if the genes from that rooster are bad. *sigh*
Well hopefully the other eggs I have that are about a week in will hatch when it's their time. I candled them and some are just starting to show veins, some have no veins, others are loaded with them. Being shipped eggs I know i'll have to give some of them more time.
