I used regular whole pasturized western family.
Then when you get a chance, get the goat or raw cow's milk. I druther have goat though.
Cows are so poopy and filthy...if I get cow I want pasturized.
I made my GF bread and the sour kefir was excellent in it ! Fantastic taste and the bread rose and even more importanr stayed risen..hard to get GF bread to not just deflate.
The coolest part is you can strain off some and add fresh milk daily so it stays relatively sweet.
Or leave it on the counter until curd (just like small curd cottage cheese) form on top..and the whey seperates, strain and give little bowls of this whey to your flocks, my birds LOVE it, the bowls are licked clean!!
I have yet to figure out how they get the bowl so clean without a tongue like ours
But they do it.
The gather round the bowls and take turns dipping and drinking, quietly, almost as if in trance, like an old Scot and fine Whiskey, savoring and slightly chewing...I will get photo next time.
Yes CCG******** Flour tells all but it will get on you too and be sticky.
I have a wildlife cam, we went through all this with a spring massacre at redRoosterFarms, they lost alot more birds than you did..it was horrible, it would damage me beyond depression if it happened here.
Hope you get the killers.
They should come back soon, gotta be hungrey by now...I would either sit in waite, gun in lap or hang poison.
My FiL that has the retired Pheasant Farm had coyotes even in daylight, creeping row to row in his orchards and lost so manybirds, geese, chickens, and right next to the bedroom even had a pen for his goslings.
Without a sound, they chewed through the poultry netting and took all 20 of the goslings in one night, not a fuzz or intestine to be found. Right under his opened bedroom window.
I mentioned to him that he was doing a fine job feeding the coyotes, and if well fed they will breed more and more.
Soon he had roving packs of 5-10 all over his land 24/7.
Know what he said ?
"Oh well, everyone has to make a living..and phooey on me for helping them at it"
He is much more easy going than I am.
