I just tried this: I cooked some bacon and so I had a pan full of bacon grease. Usually you just pour it into a can or something, right? Instead, I put a couple of cups of layer pellets (chicken feed) into the pan. Let them soak up the grease. Then I could easily wipe the pellets into the chicken pen for the chickens to eat. Suet for chickens. :)
Hey!! We made it into an issue of 'Cage & Aviary Birds' in the UK? Thanks for sending that my way! Neato! I'll have to put that on my website somehow...
Katy, I'm behind on posting--we've been so busy recently.
Yes, we made it into a magazine in England! Let me know how you put that up on your web site, I'm trying to think of how I can do the same--or maybe I can just provide a link from here.
Little did you know when you built your first chicken tractor how far your fame and influence would one day extend, eh?
Nice pic of your boy on the rooster! Where is that?
Also, tell me more about the suet-feed mixture for your chickens. Did they love it?
Where we share information about our small urban flock, and all things chicken. The hobby that started out as a way for us to have affordable organic eggs has become an obsession...
I'm a working mother, living in the Pacific Northwest with my fantastic daughter, our small urban flock of chickens, and the pomeranian early warning system (aka our dog).
