    Fermented Feed - How we do it - The 4 Container Method

    We have 7 hens. They LOVE our fermented feed. There's never left overs. We offer dry feed as well in case their appetites are not satisfied, but they target the fermented feed first. We have just begun raising quail and will start giving them fermented feed too. We honestly stopped fermenting...

    How To Keep Sparrows From Eating My Chicken Feed?

    Alright. I feed 8 chickens and 7 ducks, and apparently, about 50 sparrows. One of those 3 is not supposed to be eating here... take a guess. How can I get them away?

    Eggs as chicken feed...... Do or Don’t?

    we have more eggs than we know what to do with. (More eggs than friends can take). I am waiting on my candling course which is a pain in the butt and only offered in Sep. and I hate waste. I have heard and read in here that you can feed them back to the flock for added nutrients. Two points I’d...

    Are Subabul(Leucaena leucocephala) leaves safe as feed for free range chickens?

    Hello all, I have 40 day old chicks and have started them to free range. Few of them pecked at Subabul leaves and seem to like it. These leaves are considered one of the best feeds for goats. Will these leaves be safe for chicks?

    Does anyone feed meat birds grain?

    I know typically you want the high protein count, but does anyone feed grains to the meat birds? How does it change the taste and texture of the meat, if at all? What grains would you recommend?

    Can I feed my broilers the same starter/grower I feed my layers?

    Can I feed my broilers the same start/grower I use to feed my layers? It's blue seal multi-flock and has a protein content of 22%. I know I should feed my layers broiler food, but this seems like it would work... thoughts and insights needed. Thank you.

    Cheese sticks

    I've been feeding my hens cheese sticks broken up into little chunks... they go absolutely crazy over it. They all compete for the chunks... and if they see me come outside they run/fly to me as fast as they can just to see if I have any. I'm assuming they like the protein and calcium... just...

    Hi fellow chicken parents! I am curious as to whether you advise feeding my chickens kitchen scraps. I basically throw all cooking scraps and leftovers outside and hope the chickens will only eat what is beneficial to them and leave the rest. FYI, I am a vegetarian who eats mostly organic...
