That sounds great.!!! :D

Yes, Bob, I loosely sit my top on my five gallon bucket. It keeps the gnats out, and also the chickens. :lol: I accidentally left it open and four hours later I went back and two four mo old Comets were sitting in there stuck. I felt bad for them but they had plenty to eat. ;)

Gotcha. Sorry to unload on you. :hugs.

Welcome to BYC. Great to have you. A very good article. I'm one of the dry feed people. I keep mine like thick oatmeal so I don't have to drain. :D

Now this is interesting

Great!! Welcome back

I've used 13% hog feed a lot for my Fermented Feed. Two scoops to 2 scoops crimped oats and 1/4 scoop both of Boss and Alfalfa pellets. They did great.

Oh April, I'm so sorry to hear this double loss. Hang in there. It's been a while since I've been on this thread and I've missed it. This was my first thread I ever read. And I've kept up. I've got 40 growing babies in the incubator right now and we'll see how it works...

Cutest picture ever. What kind of chick is that?

I say welcome even though you've been a member a while. Jump in and start talking. Lovely to have you. Your CX are gonna love the FF. Put out enough that they can eat it in 10 min or so. Add more or less if needed. I feed twice a day. Buy a white rain gutter and cut it in half. Put...

Quote: It all depends on how many you are feeding. Kassaundra has hers in a 32 gallon trash can and uses a shovel to stir. She feeds a lot so replenishes more often. I use a 5 gallon bucket and feed my 14 birds in about 5 days or so. I'll go bigger when I increase my flock. This works for me now.

Good, I can live with this just fine!!!!

If I ever, ever learn to post I'll show you some. lol Computer problems are so great that I can't get on here much. Next week, repairman. Yea!!!

That reminds me Bee, I have two black rocks. When I ordered them he said he was sending white rocks but they hatched out black. I asked and he said "oops, I must have sent the Barred rocks. They are black, period. But shaped just like rocks and they are pullets. Can I breed my XW white rock...

Quote: I have the red one. Yea!!!

Quote: I wrote you this LONG answer to your question, and my computer ate it. :D I'll try again. Just get on here and start talking and asking questions. If you can read the last 100 pages it would help a lot. Go back LATER when you have time and read from about page 1500 on . There is an...

Quote: Wow, sounds like you have it going on. Kudos. I wondered how much 60 layers would eat? I have the same plans for fermenting in a big trash can. Right now I have about 14 various age birds and 40 pullet chicks coming next month. I've been fermenting in a 5 gallon bucket and it is...

Beekissed used the wet method for about a year and then she switched to one bucket and the consistancy of mortar. In the summer she puts it in a big cooler and makes it and it lasts for weeks in the coop. She stirs it daily and it stays fine. I fashioned my mix on hers. I was lucky I found...

Hey Beverly, good to see you. You are correct. The rascals will wait for the treats. I don't give treats but maybe once or twice a week. I little clover or Boss. If I have a big bowl of leftovers, meat and veggies i add it to the bowl and add enough ff to make up the difference. They still...

Not BeeKissed but happy to have you. Fermented feed is the best ever. Yes it does allow that the absorbtion throws it up 12%.. So if you feed 13% oats and ferment it, the total would be around 14.5% If you don't want to read the entire thread, although I did, and it's long you can go to...
