Missing another turkey this AM. Just spent 40 min walking the pasture and surrounds, no sign of it.

as in Stuckey's Bar B Q, Stuckey?

Don't ask me, I have almost no sense of taste...

Not yet. But we most certainly will. We don't waste much around here.

At that range? Yeah. Even w/o the scope at that distance I could have hit in the right area. But I have too many blackberry bushes to claim that it eating them constituted a "nuisance". They aren't in season right now. and if the Game Warden claimed I had set out much of an acre of wild...

You can adjust the day counter, reduce it by three days. HOLD down power button for long beep,, like you were resetting it for a new incubation. Hit power again to change from temp to remaining day counter. Hit - button to reduce to your remaining day count. Hit Power button again. It is...

Head count looks good this AM. plus One. Saw a deer about 30' from my door, eating blackberries. A few more months, season opens...

I swear I wrote T U C K E D

Not available for purchase currently . Going to get a fox trap or two, see what happens. Will decide later, after the remaining three have had some time (and are potentially put to use), since I understand they have difficulty breeding unless kept on restricted feed. Also, one of the three...

Yeah, it does.

Turkey disappeared today, daylight hours. No sign it was taken. Also, no sign of it... another mystery likely to never be solved.

...calcium. No "one right answer". Lots of wrong ones. But in this case, generally,"grower" and "all flock" are likely almost functionally identical*. Then it comes down to price. * "All Flock" feeds are theoretically supplimented with additional niacin for water fowl - thus the "all flock"...

I raise my DP birds on a local mill's 24% "game bird" feed. Would like to see more than just crude protein, like key aminos- but your top line numbers look good. Should work for you.

One of our other members went to some trouble to locate some old time feed recipes, they are found in this thread. As you will see, feeding the whey left over from cheese making was popular in preparing a mash - its almost entirely water, but what isn't water is some water soluble vitamins, some...

That quote is actually from this study (sorry I couldn't find full text). Its applicability to fermenting generally or for chicken feeds specifically seems "somewhat attenuated" - but perhaps with the full text we might be able to better judge. Do you have a copy? The relevant quote doesn't...

"The second is homogenised commercial feed in crumble or pellet form. When that is set to ferment it basically just gets wet and what changes take place make it smell strongly and little else." Your words. That seems a pretty extreme position I was responding to. You were being facetious?

First link compares whole grain flour to "all purpose" flow with its bran and germ removed. Not at all relevant to milling grains for animal feed. Its the refining that removes the bran and germ, and thus altering the nutritional averages of the end product. The second link talks about a...

Source? Milling doesn't change chemistry. The same microbes, working on the same ingredients, in the same conditions, will result in the same biochemical changes - whether its whole corn, cracked corn, or milled corn. Ditto wheat, Barley, Oats, and all the rest. The primary difference is...

Great advice from @Ridgerunner on page1. When I used a gravity feeder, pellet worked best. Crumble powder could cake up with my humidity, clog the feeder. Pellet is also (generally) lower waste. I usually have chicks under foot, so crumble is my preference. I control waste by getting it...

Believe it or not, I've stuggled to get sorghum (and sorghum/sudangrass hybrid) to grow in my pasture. MANY plants can concentrate one toxin or another under certain circumstances. The good news is that your birds, assuming they have other options available, will generately not eat to excess...
