Just put my month olds outside into the coop. Any advice on what kitchen scraps are not so good for chickens? I know that they won't eat citrus or melon rinds, and there is conflicting information out there about onions and the brassicas. Of course they LOVE leafy greens. Anyone know for sure about toxic plants?
Hi Stephanie and all. I have had some 25 years experience raising poultry, mainly exotic chickens, pheasants, etc on a small farm setting including in suburban back yard gardens. Please include me in all things Chickens North Shore and feel free to use me for any questions.
Ciao

Check out this great and fun educational program. You rent an incubator, host some eggs to hatching, and then give the chicks back. Or potentially keep them!

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.
