  1. Wet Mash and Tube Feeding: Storage questions

    I work in healthcare so some days I'll have to work 10-12hr shifts. I'm currently tube feeding one of my girls who may have canker with no vet around to help (I've already made a thread for it). I have some questions to help me readily feed her with the aforementioned work hours: If I pre-make...

  2. Mold/rust in metal trash can?+ Storing feed

    Sorry if this is already redundant somewhere in the forums. I'd been storing my quail's feed in plastic Lowe's buckets with tight lids for a while, but with the amount of feed we buy I would need multiple buckets. So I switched to a metal trash can from TS, since they're widely used and they're...

    Chamber sealer for egg preservation

    I've been doing a bit of research lately, on preservation techniques. It seems the most common preservation technique is scrambled/frozen eggs. I will be trying water glassing. But, I'm most curious about vacuum sealing. I have a vacuum sealer, but it doesn't work well for liquids because...

  9. Long-term winter egg storage - how long?

    I haven’t had an egg laid since October 11!!! Hard molt + lessened sunlight has put my whole flock on strike. I have 1 dozen left unwashed in the fridge from October 11. I am still floating and shaking each one before cracking and then using my senses to be sure of freshness. What’s your long...

    Hi all, a few days ago we introduced our inaugural round of chicks to their new coop...

  15. When to Start Stocking Up?

    What time of year (or month) would be good to start saving eggs instead of selling? We currently have a flock size of 13, with egg production between 7-9 eggs per day as we still have littles that aren't laying yet. I'd like to save enough to provide 3-5 dozen eggs per month for the months...
