    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    Gawd. All that money spent just because they don't want to eat "expensive" fresh veggies and things. LOL. But yet I've been there. Odd thing, once I gave up junk food and convenience foods and starting eating real fats, I also quit giving a hoot about my weight. And I am now down to just about...

    Funny, I was raised in the south yet can't stand sugar in my tea. But diet soda, oh yes, I do drink that awful stuff. Gradually I'm going over to the Paleo way of eating. It started of course with the natural animal fats and is continuing with more veggies and less sugar and wheat. I've always...

    Story here. I have always been told I have high cholesterol. One doctor put me on statins. Well, I went all "country" and decided to consume nothing but natural animal fats and take my own self off those statin drugs. What is supposed to then happen is that your cholesterol shoots up to a...

    Put the clothes in the dryer with nothing. Those dryer sheets leave their stuff in your dryer and it lasts a long time. When my clothes start coming out with static I put a half sheet in there for the next load and you'd be just amazed at how long that lasts. Probably why the other stuff seems...

    AGreed Four Thousand percent. Don't think you mentioned the giggle "chicken math" here too but that really gets me as well. Picture the above scenarios and then having more and more dumped in there cause they "love" them. Ugh. I love mine and that's why I thinned my flock upon moving rather than...

    Good to see you! Yes, moved but not relaxing. Too much to do!

    I remember having mine outside during summer and I did quit for a while because of the smell. It wasn't a pickle smell or a yeasty smell or a ferment smell of any sort I've ever been exposed to. It smelled like garbage! It was awful! But now I do it indoors and it's fine. Doesn't ferment as long...

    I was thinking the same thing. While frozen water can be a bother, I'd rather dump and refill than do all that. Or get a simple dog bowl heater and be done with it. They don't use that much electricity. Or you could use a car battery hooked to a power inverter if you dont' want to run a cord out...

    Same here! Looked at the long range forecast today and that "cold" will be lasting me, lets see.. almost 2 whole days! Then it's back to the 90's... ugh.

    You know, that is genius. I think you've given me the solution to "how I'm going to do THIS garden." Before, I had a fairly small garden and permanent raised beds. Well now, I'm in sandy soil on a hilltop so I don't need raised beds. And it's going to be MUCH bigger so putting in permanent beds...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    I dont' like the thought of that either! But in my new place, I bet it would be a great idea. Reason is, I have a lot of "snakevine" out there where I want to grow stuff. Oh it's a small, innocent looking vine even though it has thorns, but dig up the root and.. WOW!!! I dug one up that had to...

    I hear ya on that. The only "organic" solution I've found is hard work. Spend a year or two weeding and hoeing yourself to death, and after that so long as you mulch, all you really have to worry about other than the odd weed here and there is the grass creeping in from the edges.

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    Roaches are great treats to my birds. One would never survive a visit to the feed bowl unless it was night time and the girls were roosting. When I move something that I think roaches might be under, I call my Big Girl and Dixie Mayzell over.. they'll take care of that problem FAST. The others...

    hahaha Before I moved, jealously saved my poop off the poop board. Yep, packed a 5 gallon bucket of Chicken Poo to move 170 miles away. :lau

    X2 - For the Thank You for your service to the acronyms. After reading this site for 3 years I still don't know what people mean with some of the breed acronyms. I think some of them make them up as they go. :D

    This is from a while back and sorry if this has already been said, but. Pyrethrin, the real stuff from plants, is different from the synthetic stuff pyrethrim, etc. in this way: The real deal is basically inert after 24 hours. The synthetic keeps on killing and killing for weeks.

    :lau :lau I do the same thing! In fact I plop it from more of a height than I really need to just to get that "yuck" look to it and then say "UMMMMM Look tasty!" Guess we have to entertain ourselves somehow.
