    Efforts to Change FL Backyard Egg Sales Laws?

    Is anyone aware of any efforts to change Florida's Backyard Egg sales laws (Limited Poultry Permit: https://www.fdacs.gov/content/download/64357/file/Limited-Poultry-and-Egg-Operation-Requirements.PDF) The law here requires eggs only be solid if the seller has a permit, only sells them in...

    Bulk feed! Man they eat a lot!

    We feed our chickens organic and non-gmo. That's it. We don't direct feed meat, though, because we don't usually have any left. I don't eat meat at all.

    Bulk feed! Man they eat a lot!

    With as many birds as we have organ meats would get expensive quickly.

    Bulk feed! Man they eat a lot!

    We are doing our best to eliminate them. We just have to figure out where they are getting in

    Bulk feed! Man they eat a lot!

    The food that we are feeding them currently has no soybean or corn. It's Tucker milling from a local place. The problem is they don't sell directly to the public, and the store that we get it from doesn't like to have to place orders for us and always gets snide. I've been very happy with...

    Bulk feed! Man they eat a lot!

    Yeah. My husband and I were actually just looking at your feeders yesterday. Lol. We actually do have a few mice and David has been going hunting every night. We can't figure out how they are getting in and I wanted to protect the feed before it started to become a problem.

    Bulk feed! Man they eat a lot!

    We are looking for 1 ton at a time. It's our understanding that it will last up to 6 months if properly stored in a cool dry place. Is that incorrect?

    We have 50. It's a flock of roos and hens, so we are looking for non-layer feed and offer oyster shell and grit on the side.

    Bulk feed! Man they eat a lot!

    I’m on a quest—an epic journey, if you will—seeking the holy grail of chicken feed! My flock devours about 1 ton of food every six months, and I’m looking for sources that provide bulk non-GMO feed, ideally corn and soy free. Bonus points if the company delivers because my chickens have taken on...

    Injured rooster can't stand up

    Yay! Thanks. It took me a bit to finally understand the gist, but I think I got it. He took right to it as well. I hope I've got the poop hole in the right spot but otherwise I'm just glad to see him more comfortable. Here is hoping he gets better. How do you deal with muscle atrophy?

    Injured rooster can't stand up

    You would think so, right? I've asked all three farmers near us. There is one vet who sees farm animals - but only large animals. The other vets in town only see cats and dogs. Most won't even see a ferret. What about atrophy? I know he can't be on that leg but is atrophy also a concern?

    Injured rooster can't stand up

    I can see no visible signs of an injury at all. As far as getting him x-rayed, we don't have any avian vets around here and the regular vets won't see chickens. I have actually never seen him fight with another rooster. He's very docile and friendly. In fact, when I was cleaning out his cage, I...

    Injured rooster can't stand up

    I have a rooster that appears to be injured. I believe it's his hip or thigh on the left hand side. He cannot stand up and he lays on his right supporting himself with his wing out. This is a 5-month-old Bielefelder. He will eat an 81 mg aspirin right out of my hand, so we have given him that...
