Can ya feed rolled oats to hens. Normally give rolled barley but the wife got the order wrong.


used to give them oats here i think, was advised against the barley for some reason

Hens need an enzyme to absorb/utilise barley and they do not posses it. Most commercial hen feeds do use a high percentage of barley but the enzyme is added in the manufacturing process. I think it is called lysine or something like that.

Tip for the hot weather; get an empty 2L plastic drink bottle, before you go to bed half fill it with cold water and place it in the freezer on it's side so that the cap is clear of water. In the morning fill it to the top with cold water. Take it with you. Gradually as the ice melts during the day you'll have cold water to drink.

Do you think if you had the full bottle it would have worked out better ? I think someone mentioned that under dosing is a bad job :D

heifer that lost tail last week is still plagued with flies, i put stockholm tar on her on monday. Went to local co-op place today looked at all horsey stuff, nothing that could be put on a wound for flies. Ended up with cheno unction, theres a fly repellent in it, so put the tar and it on her

Kovu

Just to be clear as I don't want to be the instigator of (A) Drunken ramblings here & (B)Babies arriving in 9 months, that was not a challenge nor a prescribed dose that is correctly attributed to bodyweight....:pac:

Drunken ramblings I can manage, but it would want to be some dose of stuff to end in a baby here in 9 months

Tis powerful stuff, when our hurlers weren't firing last year Davy brought them all to his house and gave them a good shot of miwadi back the neck...a few months later they were all Ireland champs!

MiWadi would be harmless stuff compared to the gear Sean Boylan had his great Meath team drinking :-)

Was over the West at the weekend, and came across a Micro-brew called Limeburner. It was on draft, thought it a brilliant beer for this kind of weather. Brewed up somewhere in Donegal.

Welcome or Welcome back to the Farming forum, whichever applies. :-)

Are you the pregnant woman or the man responsible for the pregnant woman's current state?

eldest lad got a rwh heifer calf off santa in 2012, shes a smasher my plan was to bring her to the mart last tuesday but a calf started sucking her-she is with much younger stock as her comrades have all been served. We moved calf to 2 fields away and he was back the next day. Moved heifer , calf broke to her, this is through a 4 strand barbed wire fence. Have them seperated now for good:D will the bit of a bag she has dry up ? How long would it take to dry up? what would she be worth, shes 20 months old and would say around 400kg-at least
