    WhatsupFlorida?

    That is... ODD. One the one hand, they will finally let us sell in egg cartons and similar. On the other hand, they have tripled the size of a "small" flock, and offering a definition for poultry which is less safe, less attractive to residential retail purchasers, and less suitable for heat...

    About Making My Own Chicken Feed

    Welcome to BYC, you seem to have really jumped in with both feet! I commend you for your eagerness, but recommend you NOT make attempt to make your own feed until you've done your readings and your research. No combination of the three ingredients you've suggested will make a complete chicken...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I use kosher dill juice from Claussens , then make devilled eggs from them. Takes longer though, need a good 8-10 days. If your sanitation is impeccable, you can use one jar of left over juice twice (in rapid succession). If its not, you get one shot at it.

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    Sorry for the photo quality. Some of the birds seem to be actively trying to avoid being the object of my focus. That's a good thing

    new research debunks trad views on nutrition

    Bti, I swear by it. All natural mosquito (and some fly) control, I still have plenty of many varieties of bees in my pasture, also wasps, spiders, grasshoppers, aphids and all sorts of other critters. But mosquitoes? in spite of a stagnant 20x35' "pond", I have essentially none. @Bawkbok not...

    All flock vs layer feed??

    In older birds, gout, excess urates, renal problems, powdery, bumpy eggs w/ calcium deposits (particularly on the narrow end), other joint abnormalities. Internally, calcium can start to deposit as a dry white powdery substance on the organs while it damages the kidneys and liver. At high...

    Chicken Heart Health

    If you've done lots of autopsies of birds, chances are you aleady have good idea of what you are looking for. Smooth, unblemished, uniform color, a particular red I don't see elsewhere in nature, with a reasonable but not excessive amount of fat. If you are willing to accept anecdotal reference...

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    Setting chicken eggs in the incubator this week. Chicks from last batch doing well. Will be a split hatching w/ turkey eggs (likely infertile...) so don't expect high success rates. You miss every shot you don't take, right?

    Going to set more chicken eggs this weekend. So why am I posting here, instead of on my "Culling Project" page???? Because I'm also going to throw some turkey eggs in the incubator, do a split hatch like when I do chicks and ducks at the same time. No idea if the turkey egg is fertile, our...

    Confused on different feed selections

    "Feather Fixer" if its the Nutrena, is a higher protein "layer"-type formulation. The best thing you can do is learn the nutritiojnaal needs of your birdss, then learn to read guaranted feed labels - so you can skip the product placement claims and market segmmentation and go straight to the...

    Giving chickens corn that is soaked in 5 gallon bucket of water good??

    You don't need me, @Ridgerunner has more than adequately covered it. To summarize - Yes, corn contains some valuable nutrients, no it is not a compleete diet, and soaking in water won't magically make it so. Bird seed is not a balanced diet for chickens either. It suffers some of the same...
