soy free

Hi all, I've been a reader for years - finally made an account haha. Used the advice here to hatch my first cortunix quail and they're doing great! 12 of them are 3 weeks old (I think a mixture with Italian, pearl). Started from Craigslist eggs 👍 I have a soy allergy so they're on a soy-free...

Hi everyone ! Long story short my non gmo & non soy feed I usually get for my flock is not going to be an option anymore. I’m having such a tough time finding an alternative that’s not going to make me go broke or one that I’m going to have to order online. I’d prefer to buy locally or at...

Hi all, ducks are currently 7 wees old and are eating Nature's Best Organic Duck Crumbles. My plan is to switch them to a feed specifically for ducks (not a layer feed) but a feed with around 1% calcium and 17ish% protein. It is important to me that the feed be soy free and at least non-gmo if...

Is dry Lucerne Chaff in a mash form good for chickens? The bag says that it contains 15% protein. They love it.

6 week old duckling I just ordered this food as it is grower mix. Just making sure it’ll be okay to give to my ducker as a staple.

Anyone know where to get organic cracked corn in wholesale quantities?

Does anyone use limestone bedding in their chicken coop? what are the benefits you've seen? Smell? egg production?

What are some ways you get calcium into your chickens I use oyster shell and limestone. I'm wondering if there are any other inexpensive ways to get calcium into their diet.

What grasses or other plants do your chickens like to eat that grow fast? I want to try growing flats of something in the house so i can have the chicken eat something fresh (other than store bought stuff) in and out of the coop over the winter.
