a big topic of discussion on the pastured poultry list is chicken feed. id like to do a survey of some of the poultry farmers around here to see what theyre feeding their chickens from day one. many on the group prefer whole grains with some brewer's yeast as a possible supplement. since i have a never ending supply of brewer's yeast, that would be perfect. others raise maggots and grubs for the two important amino acids they need (lysine and methionine). reserch chicken nutrition more as well.
also - do the same for dairy goats. we should find out what they feed at M&B, sandra miller, and any others we can talk to at pasa. i guess really id just like to learn much more about the nutritional needs of the animals wed like to keep.
