He is gorgeous! I love that comb!
A fellow comb person. lol When we first got chickens here I thought that combs and wattles were ugly but that IS what makes a chicken. Combs and wattles are great.

Hi PR. I was wondering if you had planned on doing a raw feeding page. I do a little now but it's not possible for full raw right now. I have read many different theories, recipes, formulations etc over the years. It seems another one of those "dog" issues that no-one can agree on. I mean that for people that are raw feeding. No one agrees. :rolleyes:

BTW- I have 2 spangled Hamburgs (Hens) beautiful birds but geesh are they fliers. Mine are very feral, my last ones were too. I don't breed them, they are just for eye candy and we need a few white egg layers. Ours fly through the fields like they are some kind of flight bird! They will fly 20 feet up into the trees! Crazy. I hope he is much tamer than ours.

Should I do a raw feeding page? I have never even considered it. I follow a very simple process of introduction and then a formula once they are adjusted. After that it is just maintenance to keep an eye on their poop, health and what not. There are MANY different ways to feed raw. Just as there are many different kibbles to feed. I feed one of the simplest forums of raw feeding, Prey model raw. Its requires no vegetables, fruits or grains. Just meat, bone, organ and fat, maybe a little hair here and there ;)

I wasn't aware that others were interested so I never even thought about discussing it on here. I don't normally discuss it with anyone outside of my raw feeding friends unless someone asks specifically. It is so controversial.

Maybe that is how this guy ended up at the animal control shelter? LOL

I'm very interested in the raw feeding. Doing a page would be great.

Isn't it crazy how anything with dogs seems to be so controversial? Because there are so many ways to do things doesn't mean one is right or wrong. It's like feeding goats. I stay away from those now because it's so cut-throat. haha

I'd be interested in your raw feeding journal, I've been researching the Prey Model diet for awhile now but haven't done it yet

I have seen a few pics of rose combs before but none that really impressed me until now. Still loving that rooster!

I did not know raw feeding was controversial. I just figured it was healthier and more natural but took more time and fuss than chow. I'd sure like to know more, even if I don't see myself doing it right now. Always open to new ideas though. My dog love love loves eggs and I give them to her about once a week, so long as we have them to spare (and we usually do with 25 layers :) ).
