BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

[Up-the-Creek]

This isn't the best picture, but at the moment all I have. This is one of the hens and that is my good looking son packing her around,.. See how pretty their feathers are?? Very friendly girls too. They lay nice size brown eggs and do good free rangeing.

Me and my boss (who has every single chicken breed/combo alive) are McMurray Murray fans

*edit* HAD every single breed, she no longer has her ranch.

Were the Buff Orps and Partridge Rocks big and broody? What about the Australorps?

I don't think chickens and ducks eat alfalfa pellets, and you want timothy for an adult rabbit anyways. I don't feed corn to rabbits, unless its small amounts. Your feeding hay right? I give a 1/3 cup of pellets/day to a 4lb rabbit, so a 5# bag lasts me forever. I give TONS of hay everyday, and a combination. Base of timothy or grass, then oat/meadow as a dressing.

You always still need your vitamins. If you cut corners like that (combining mammal and poultry feed) you WILL end up with problems.

I may not do alfalfa pellets for the poultry. Maybe rolled oats, BOSS, cracked corn. Vitamins shouldnt be an issue since they free range. Then pellets, boss and some corn for the rabbits plus their hay. Hows that?

Sounds good if they are getting a rabbit pellet they shouldn't need corn or anything added in, just as a treat. But then again my rabbit thinks her digestive pills are candy.
