I suspect you have rodents and many dozens of wild birds feasting on a majority of your feed. I feel that 24 hour access is best if you can keep the wild animals from eating most of the feed. I have ten free-range laying hens. A 50 pound bag of feed…
I have both of these birds. My blue andalusian is 3 years old and is no longer laying much at all, she is very skittish, and has a comb bigger than many roosters'. She doesn't care to eat from my hands but if I sit down and look away from her she pe…
I was at the Stock Shop today buying organic lay pellets. Anyway, they have Marans and Blue Andalusian chicks. I believe they are straight run. If you're into neat looking chickens or very dark brown Marans eggs more than the quantity they lay, thes…

Has anyone had success in obtaining unsalable produce from your local grocer or farmer to supplement your livestock feed? I'm amazed at the volume that's wasted on a daily basis that I could put to use. That could feed poultry with any overflow gett…
Does anyone know approximately how much water per square foot a mulched vegetable garden would need per day in the Phoenix area? I am planning to install rain gutters and we have a nice sized roof to collect rainwater to supplement the garden. We ar…
Last year I had a lot of crickets out in the coop area maybe due to the moisture from their mister. The problem was the crickets would only come out at night while the chickens were roosting. So, I set out a large glass bowl half filled with water a…

Erika said… - I have not found anyone to process chicken. I have looked allover the internet and called several places even way out past laveen when I was on that side of town. I was told that a lot of places have stopped processing chickens all together and others have stopped taking homegrown due to state and federal regulations are so strict that it is not worth their time anymore. That was last week and now I am no longer looking because it is frustrating. I have an acquaintance that used to do it herself years ago and she said that she would come over and show me how. I think it is just too time consuming for me.

Hi Lylah,
