Thanks for the info CT. I've been in the chicken business for a little while now and am looking to cut feed costs and am being quite successful with my layers. I'll just feed them as much as they want. That's what I've been doing anyhow.
Thanks ;)
Okay, I just read online that the baby chick does not really need a lot of food. Here's the link to the page http://www.avianaquamiser.com/posts/How_much_food_do_chicks_need__63__/. Feel free to give any new info.
I am starting an egg business and looking for a little info. I know that all a full grown henn needs per day is 0.3 pounds of food. I want to know how much a chick needs per day for about the first 7 weeks of their life.
Thanks :)
I would like to start feeding my chicks bread along with there 20% protein grit. I already have chickens and give them a loaf a day and they love it. Also, I can just go to my bread store and pick up a trash bag of bread for 5 bucks(), so you can see why I might want to feed my chicks bread...
Hi ya'll! I live in hot, humid Louisiana ( it got to 110 degrees on Monday). I want to get Buff Orpingtons, but I am concerned they won't make it through the heat. If I give them a nice, shady spot and ice cold water 24/7, will they make it?
I have been told that red and gold sex links are the same thing, but Ideal poultry has both labeled as two different breeds. So what I am wodering is which one is the right one?
I guess I was looking at the wrong breeds of ducks Because I was getting completely different numbers. Thank you for answering I was also wondering if I just treated them like chickens except I just give them a baby pool?
Hello! In October I will be ordering 30 chickens. 15 will be Red stars and 15 will be Buff Orpingtons, but I have been doing a lot of research and found that the Orps are lower in the pecking order. So, I was wondering if it was alright to mix the two.
Thank you for answering! Yes, Centarchid, they free range 13 hours a day and pick up many bugs on their way, but I could add some soybeans to their diet.
