So I had to look up the Ko Shamo birds...those are a new one on me. Kind of like a runner duck look except in a chicken? Are they popular for the odd look or are there other breed peculiarities?

Are the white balls perlite? That's heated and popped (expanded) volcanic obsidian. It's a common product in commercial potting soil. It's not supposed to be hazardous but it's pretty non-digestible. It's probably not a good thing for them. It's only use is to add drainage to soil. Is there a...

Chicken tender!

I'm not higher but definitely taller than my chickens!

Hi right back!

The agnostic's prayer: "Oh God if there is one, save my soul if I have one." I know that's a quote from someone famous just don't remember who. Back to the chicken feed...I just came home from a feed store run and that place is all abuzz with rumors about TSC, Purina feed and some big chicken...

I also use Nutrena feeds, usually All Flock. The chickens get scraps + leftover milk and free range the pastures (more swamp than pasture this week). They have oyster shell. I have seen them picking at the salt, mineral & selenium blocks that are out. They annoyingly toss around loose goat...

The chicken in question...first pic taken through chain link fence. When she even thinks I am looking for her she takes off. She's more nervous than my leghorns, I've seen her going in or out of nest boxes but have never seen her actually in one. She lays fairly large white eggs. She was a one...

Dinner tonight: Toasted buffalo chicken dip sandwiches to eat with lentil soup I made last night. Maybe salad. tea. lemon cake. I have some brown leghorns that just started laying, the eggs are huge! but the timing is still random. Someone else started laying too, just not sure which hen. A...

Maybe no one prays for us when we get rooster flogged. Or deal with a limp chicken? What's in a name, anyway...

Sorry, you lost me. Do you mean aggression human to human or chicken to human. I have to read back through, sorry. Need more coffee.

so talk about chickens...

"mean gene" - I like that. I think the most common determinator for that here is if there are competing roos.

On the tallow, and other fat & grease collection: do y'all ever heat it up and pour some on a pan of feed? My dogs love this as an occasional treat and my chickens, too. I don't really collect it but if I have cooked meat and drained it, I'm going to feed it out, not dump it out. And before...

I had a feed conspiracy once.

I don't know. Scared to open it.

I have an emergency cliff bar that's been in my truck console since 2020. They just don't look like they would be good, but they come in about 27 flavors.

looks like a dried gob of lumpy ground sausage

I have several soap making friends who are trying different species' tallow for soap making. That's all I really know about tallow... Supporting this thread!
