    My chickens that are not moulting have absolutely beautiful feathers! I sold a few a couple months ago to a friend & she couldn't believe how shiny/plump they were. My chickens/turkeys have been on FF since Oct of 2012.

    My chickens love any kind of pasta! In the winter when it's REALLY cold, I'll cook some up and feed it to them. Warm belly's, warm body.

    That's all hilarious! Love the way the chickens and other fowl love FF. It's hard for me to get to the feed trough with them all at my feet, but when I do they all dive in. The only thing I don't enjoy is when it's muddy in the run from rain, the 7wk old babies fly onto my shoulders & head...
