    Today finally a bit time to make the first sandblocks, time to start the pepper, paprika, aubergine, field bean, spinach, salad, onion, flowers and potato.

    Still winter but preparation for spring, feels so good it warms up a bit.

    For sure not just to learn and get experience, also to be able to earn some extra savings.

    From what the chickens give, is for our son. His first hens are laying now, and he says thank you and gives them a huge. He knows the difference between breeding and meat chickens and is going to learn that also with rabbits.

    He can help grow vegetables and fruit and share at school, like he did in Kindergarten.

    The project is for the Kindergarten and school, to experience and learn how to grow.

    ARSENIC is found in nature plants, but you can test for it and if so trow that hole batch out. The problem is that it is not done with feed. We do it because it is for veterinarian use.

    Some plants have more and if they use those for better production, they are not going to get those out after 10 years or less if they could grow more generations in one year. So there you have that economics money evil.

    Forget to mention eggs, the best resource for protein, fat and all super feed. Family first, but you can share with your chickens to lay better or produce better meat.

    Let me tell you (all) another secret, meat birds grains with extra corn and milk. Do not have a cow or so, so use milk powder lamb is cheapest over here. And is in a Bucket with lid, use over and over again for cat feed or making mash you name it.

    Yes the cheapest dry cat feed, just check if the protein are around 30. Feed it as mash or grind it, great with micro greens grains. Let them forage, give scraps, green and let the do composting.

    Or just buy the grains separated and mix yourself.

    As simple as possible please, no etsy or ebay and so on for that reason. Just want to be able to sell private, not as a shop to make money.

    How about the rules USA and Europe all over the world?

    They are like potatoes good food, if they get invasive just keep mowing that area. Or let the chickens deal with them, they give them no chance to grow.

    The Bresse are doing the best, if I was a farmer would take them for eggs and then after 1 one laying season meat. They will lay maybe a couple less eggs, but the cost will be less because they are such good foragers and will pay extra with excellent meat.
