I buy a few cheap gallons of reg acv. One small bottle of acv w/mother and shake it up and divide contents into my gallons of regular. Then I sit them in the bottom of my pantry for 3 weeks. Tada! mother grows in the reg jugs.

These work awesome, are light weight too. Half a PVC pipe and screw a piece of board to each end.

I keep mine in a brooder for a week or two then boot them out to pasture and they range 4 acres here dusk til dawn daily until processing. They do everything my layers do free ranging, just not as gracefully, they dust bathe, chase bugs, dig up moles, wander in the woods, and all come flapping...

:( I hope she's ok, Does she 'look' distressed? Always good to give them a boost! I ask only thinking that I saw my hen chase a night crawler in a puddle backwards, but Clearly saw she was trying to get somethin after I approached her. I don't think protein is the issue unless she's not...

We breed new Zealand whites and raise them for breeders as well as meat :)it is sweet! We break even on the chicken because we want the price as low as possible for friends and family to be able to get real food with out the steep cost of $5 plus dollars PER pound! (It pays for feed and our...

Knee deep in bunnies and about to start another batch of CX meaties, fed on FF of course! Chasing predators away like crazy this week too. Being busy keeps me outta trouble tho! :gig Got a call today to go pick up another 5 bunnies too....seems easter excitement has worn off and peeps are...

:bun :lau @ schooled - best place to get real answers! Even if some of us are waaaay delayed in catching up before responding...like me :) I need to read threads backward.

Be nice to my Willow :P No such thing as a stupid question. Always ask what you want to know! How else will we all learn. Fermenting the eggs hard boiled would become just that. It would give you a hard boiled egg marinated in fermented chicken food (chicken food Scooby if you're just using the...

Long run the extra calcium can do damage technically. But these are meat chickens due to be processed in a fairly short amount of time (8 to 16 weeks depending on breed growing) and the long term possible side effects should not present an issue because the bird will not be grown out for egg...

And the last 3 weeks mine ate almost what they ate in the 1st 5 weeks :gig I did do a batch that I grew out to 4 months. After 12 weeks the feed intake plateaus for us. I may do another batch and observe that again to see if it was a fluke but it was consistent in that batch. They didn't eat...

I fed a batch of 40 CX and 5 layers on 10 cups twice a day. There was often a bit left but they were free ranged. And did some serious foraging. I used a 2 cup measuring plastic cup with small holes drilled in bottom as a scoop and spread it out among trough feeders so the biggest birds didn't...

:gig it was Soooooo good! He's smoking a few of our birds this weekend! I can't wait!

:( that sux. Hope your Roo is feeling better after his battle. He's a keeper if your layers are ok. I've read that the fear during attack releases adrenalin of sort into their system, then are killed before it dissipates and can effect meat, but I personally don't think so. I do know not...

I save organs we don't use up from CX processing and feed back as treats once or twice a week to the layer flock. Extra livers are their favorite, kidneys, they don't eat the gizzards and seem to snub the hearts too :/ maybe if I cooked them... But my birds don't raid the plucker feather pile...

:gig because we only wanted to smoke half of it. Just us and 22lbs was too much - this Half even lasted us 4 days :lau but he wanted smoked turkey sammichs!! Lol Soooooo out came the Sawzall heh heh heh I can't be the only one that looks around after task for other stuff to Sawzall through...
