Used to be a lot more crap - but it was literally crap - mostly in the water. more natural, more dangerous. No guarantees in life except that none of us get out of it that way. There are no safe alternatives, but that doesn't mean you have to sit at the tables with the worst odds.

Possibly. Even probably at times if you have locally sourced grains used when the locals are spraying. That said, Glypho isn't cheap. Farmers who can avoid paying extra for glypho resistant plants and the glypho itself and the labor/equipment to apply it will do so.

and the posters here on BYC dismantled that particular study shortly after it was published. I was one of them. The thread on the test results from another Youtube personality. and one of our users sent several feed samples off for testing which were provided to her by other users here on BYC...

You are over reacting. and you should find a better source than Adams. The question is not whether there are clinically detectable levels of "x" (pick any X you want) in product "y", its whether the quantity of "x" consumed, over any given timeframe, reaches statistically significant levels of...

As above - Any decent starter or "all flock" will do, perfectly safe for the chickens. Ducks have greater niacin needs, particularly Pekins, nutritional yeast powder is readily available and a good way to provide that boost. Chicks will simply excrete the excess they intake - and can make use...

Big breasted bronze have a nice size and pattern - but I don't know the commercial market. (Picture from Hoover's website, I don't have adult birds I can photo right now)

This, loosely,is the FL Panhandle. If I included a bit more of Alabama, and a bit less of the coast, it would be called the "Wiregrass" for reasons you can likely guess at. In any event, doesn't seem like I'll be culling those extra drakes and roos this AM. Another line behind this (slow...

Romaine is low value nutritionally - and yes, birds can be very selective. Glad you have clover available. It was one of the first legumes I successfully planted in my pasture to suppliment my birds commercial feed. Currently have four varieies growing (with differing success), they come into...

Like @Ridgerunner , I 've done the research. Calcium toxicity is a progressive disease. Mixing one bag isn't going to kill them. In all likelhood, if it hurts them at all, it will do so in ways that are clinically measurable but you will never observe. Slightly smaller birds. Less efficeint...

FOLLLOWING!

Would appreciate you sharing your experiences with them after you have done a batch or two. They have some (advertised) traits that would be beneficial in my culling project _ I'm considering bringing a few in as potential breeders.

I can virtually guarantee he gets two more months. I'm curious too.

"he" does seem to have the legs for it. I had the same thought. Typically one of the more uprright stances among the birds as well. I will likely let the turkeys out of their pen next week, move these birds in. I'm sure they would like the space, and the turkeys are already as big as my...

All Flock and Oyster Shell on the side, yes. and as many discovered, "Starter" and "All Flock" formulations look a lot alike, nutritionally. Plenty of us subbed one for the other during the Pandemic when choices were few. The biggest difference is that starter is much more often medicated...

Here's hoping you can get eyes on them. I'm debating pulling more soda apple this AM, still undecided about what to do with "my" fox. It hasn't taken any more birds, and I've not found scat inside the electric fence this week. That's good for the fox, good for me.

Foreground bird is interesting, but much darker than will do well on these grounds. The various red and "whatever" birds behind will all disappear better most months. The almost all black bird is in the picture, back right, hiding. I know it doesn't know what its future holds, but it does...

Could not manage to fit the 4th in frame. Given how big they are already, it's amazing how skittish turkeys are.

OK, I've done a head count, looked at the new chicks, looked at the old ducks, taken a quick survey of the male/female ratios. Setting another batch of chicken eggs this weekend. and hopefully processing four birds - two drakes, two roos. and @LaurenRitz sorry I missed your comment last...
