Tip...
Who else has chickens? YT taught me about fermenting my feed. I have 3 buckets going on a rotation. The feed goes further, less waste, and the fermenting promotes health! Win win win!

That’s so good Robin! Have you ever heard of fodder for chickens? It’s more work than fermenting or soaking but the omega 3s are out of this world! It’s also an amazing way to keep your feed going longer

I did fodder for about a year, and then settled on fermenting the feed ... and then gave up because it seemed like I was gaining more and more "children" to take care of. Something had to give somewhere, and it was the fodder and fermenting efforts of the chicken feed. In my ideal world, I'd have enough energy and time to "do all the things", but I just can't.
Now that I'm thinking of it, I even grew [grew? raised? whatever] mealworms for a bit over a year ... that was great until pantry moths got into the mealworm medium and then I could NOT get rid of the pantry moths in my pantry. UGH! And ... another mistake ... when I was done with the mealworms we dumped the rest of their poop on to our potatoes for compost ... not knowing there were still a few eggs in there or something because all of the potatoes we harvested that year had mealworm holes through. LOLOLOLOL!!!!! If this were a hundred years+ ago, we would not have survived 2015!

We keep chickens! Right now I have about 8 hens and 3 rosters. That's probably 2 too many rosters, so I guess I'll need more hens! ?
