    Complete Chicken Nutrition, No Buying Feed - How?

    Fodder and forage and many other ideas below. I do find chickens forage better when put outside fairly young. I allow them out in the goat pasture at times and let them in my back yard with the dogs. I know I don't have to worry about hawks when the dogs are out. If one goes overhead the...

    Pure CA and CA/NZW cross

    I am in Kansas City and have several pure NZW's and a few really nice CA/NZW crosses. All are anti-biotic and hormone free. These rabbits are from very good meat stock I have been working on for a few years. All should be good mothers and have large litters. PM me if interested.

    Alternative ways to house and care for meat rabbits?
