As our fight for freedom drags on more weeks I am once again out of chicken and having to decide whether or not to order a batch of PROPER meat chicks from a hatchery.
My question is, how many mealworms to the cup of scratch grain (the only organic I can find right now has oats, wheat, sunflower seeds and milo) should I add to bring the protein up to fit their needs?
And will fish flavor the meat of chickens? I know it will the eggs - I stopped giving my chickens catfish livers because of it - but what about the meat?
Fish ferments and the mullet run is right about now so if I got a nice big cooler full of mullet I could bake the heads dry, grind them up and ferment them with the grain.
The duck feed I was using for the quail fermented just fine and it had fish meal in it.
