Thats a beautiful roo!

The only time I use ACV is on the first batch to give it a jump start. After it gets going I add back the dry feed I use every couple of days.

You dont need anything special. You can ferment your regular feed. All you need is a bucket with a loose fitting lid or an ice chest works well too. Just put your feed in it, cover the feed with water, stir it up a couple times a day and in a couple of days you will smell the fermentation.

They do drink less water with fermented feed. Especially the chicks because I add a little bit of extra water to theirs. I started fermenting to save money and I had read it's better for your chickens. But it has also gotten rid of my rat problem because it eliminates the feed they spilled on...

I feed my whole flock grower from chicks to adults. I have oyster shell on the side for the hens and grit for the chicks. I ferment their feed, so it just makes it easier to have one kind of feed instead of 3. I also let my chicks have some scratch once they are on the ground at about 5 weeks old.

Here is one. https://www.facebook.com/groups/356070667775106/

Thats pretty cool he was born on your birthday. Congratulations!

Thank you. Well said. Thanks. I am glad your son made it through that. Bless your heart. We had ours for 10 years after his wreck. He died from complications from is accident. It brought me to my knees many times. I feel blessed to have had him for those years. I learned what is truly important...

This hits close to home for me because I have been through this same thing and lost a son. Not from drugs but a car wreck. Thanks for all your prayers.

Last night a dear friends son was life flighted to the ER. He had been smoking “K2” or “Synthetic marijuana” or “Kush” what ever you want to call it. He had a seizure and his heart stopped. They live in a very rural area of East Texas and it took a while for life flight to get there. He was...

They are going to mix it all up scratching it around anyway so I don't think it will matter which goes first.

You will be very glad you did. I have been fermenting for 6 or 7 months and don't think I will be going back to the old way any time soon. Good luck.

Have y'all seen these? Its one crazy looking chicken. http://www.traigadongtao.vn/ga-tien-vua-05-1821449.html

Me too! ;)

He came by my place yesterday. He tested 6 hens out of 20. It only took 15 minutes at the most to test the birds and an hour and 15 minutes to talk chickens. Great guy and a very easy process.

Wow, you dodged a bullet there! Glad it worked out ok. You should not need to heat your coop at all unless you have babies. If you do need to use a heat lamp, make sure the fixture hangs from a chain and not just from the cord.

Great info Janet. Thanks! I am wanting to start showing next year. I am getting state tested next week. This is one of the things I worry about.
