      One set compost tank can handle about 10tons fresh chicken manure every day(moisture content:60%-70%) and from the 8th day on, will discharge 3-4tons high quality organic fertilizer every day(moisture content: about 30%)

      What did you learn from this blogger? This man is losing money big way on farming. Without income from RUclips he would packed it up long time ago. He is great talker/blogger, but his farming is nothing. In my estimate he may be earning about 1000$ a day from the RUclips.
      There are far better web sites if you want to learn about farming.

    Hi Doc. Eagerly awaiting the results of how you get on with this experiment. I did this with my layers. I started free ranging them for 4/5 hours a day. I’m now only using 30% of the feed I used to use. Egg production has not decreased. In fact yolks are deeper orange in colour from them eating more greens. Hens seem happier also. Hope you have good results also. Good luck doc. Keep up the great work.

Really having them good places to run under like I keep several places for them to be able to run over and hide under...
      Keep a slingshot around for the Hawks because most areas it's illegal to kill them so you just want to shew them away in kind of an aggressive manner...
      Where I'm at luckily hasn't had much foot traffic predators we had a dog run in the yard once before I got the fences completely up but it did not hurt the chickens but only scared them and then there was a raccoon for a very short time trying to move in in the woods next door but a few traps got rid of him...
      Always recommend if you're going to relocate a raccoon try to do it across water cross a bridge or something of that effect otherwise for certain take it a good distance and when you let it out it might be excited but most of the time they just want to get away...
      I will say having a dog that hangs out with them is probably your a number one deterrent and get a secure coop for them to sleep in and that should be the real extent of any real problems

    You have to think about the protein, energy, Vit content. And mix it with the usual stuff.

    My wife comes from a small village on a small Island in a mangrove in the Philippines. The food garbage in collected from each house daily and boiled and fed to the pigs they are raising for fiesta. Then what the pigs do not eat and other plant matter are buried and covered with coconut leaves to keep the soil moist. This is where the chicken eat digging up worms and bugs. And in the evening they grind up some cassava and call the chicken back to their coop to keep them safe. This is what I saw as I stayed there for three months. The chickens also ate bugs under the trees or huts.

    Hey I'm out in Hawaii and I homestead a bit. Starting compost piles are an effective way to feed chickens without having to spend money. They can produce a lot of bugs for chickens and it can be sold as enriched soil later or used to grow food on the farm to produce vegetables, feed, and produce more compost. I just started doing in for about 2 years and cut my feed use by 75%. They eat all that I grow and spend the day shifting through the compost. I grow bananas, papayas, and several varieties of vegetables. So far very good results. Getting to 100% will be easier if I was retired and was in better health.

    Hi Doc, I live in a very dry and hot area of the US. I have started to ferment my feed which has drastically reduced my feed cost as well as increased the overall health of my birds. My egg production has remained stable during the hot months. It's quite simple and just mix your feed in a container with some water and let ferment for three days. I stir once a day and on day three drain off the water and my birds love it. I have reduced my feed by over 40%.

    I heard a interesting idea for chicken feed.
    Maggots.
    You need something that calls flies to lay eggs that the chickens can not get to product but can get maggots after they hatch and before they become flies
    Once you figure it out you have a revolving feed source. Just add product as needed.
    Have not yet tried this idea. But it sounds great to me.

    U can use grated dry coconut..to stretch feed. Also grow aloe vera plant lots and lots and purchase molasses and put in their drinking water. This cleans then naturally and makes them drink lots and lots of water. This plumps up the chicken. Also lime stone spread in the coop makes them pick at the stones which have calcium making the egg shell hard. This is what they do in Jamaica. Also we have a water grass that the chickens love.

    Thank you for all that you are doing. I have been doing something similar to reduce my feed costs. I aligned with a local pantry to take the food that is no longer good for human consumption, and feed it to my flock. They don’t eat everything, they are selective, and what they don’t eat right away will compost, and they will eat this composting food and all the insects that it brings. Spoiler alert, this is a lot of work to haul the food, but it is still far cheaper to do this than to feed straight chicken feed. Since I have been doing this, 3 years running, my birds are doing very well. It is a win win for my homestead. It will take some research to find pantries that will cooperate with you in this endeavor, but worth the time and effort. God bless you. Keep making these informative videos.

    I've also been watching another homesteader here in the US, (i think her RUclips channel is called Chickenlandia, if I remember correctly), that uses fodder and also ferments some of her feed.

    Hello my mentor, it is true...even here in Nigeria, chicken feeds become expensive every day.
    And lot of my consultant do called to ask if they should divert from already made chicken feed to formulated ones because it is cheap to get.

    Hello from Alaska! Former child behavior therapist, now stay at home mom with a small flock of 15 layers. I also raised my first set of broilers this year. My flock loves to free range all summer in the birch forest environment we live in. But in the winter, with all the snow, they stay in/near their coop. Cutting food costs is always a topic I love to learn about! Thanks for sharing!

    Add some red pepper flakes or powder to your chicken feed (not lots but a cup or two per bucket full) and watch those egg numbers go up…much better than the chemicals added to those feeds to make the chickens lay 😉

    When you have a decrease in egg production and you are mixing your own feed you need to ask yourself what are the chickens lacking in nutrition. It sounds like protein maybe. I would not discount making your own feed. I would make my own and add supplements to make sure they are getting the vitamins and supplements they need . sprout your feed ( saves 30%, more nutrition and you hall less water) make maggot traps to feed them almost free. Start a compost pile. and so on.

    I'm going to share some ideas here, you can combine things, pasture feeding, compost feeding set up worm farms, put some in pasture feed some worms back to chickens... Grow perrenial cabbages that you can use for feed and home use. Grow chokoes on the chicken farm structure... And also fermented grains, collect urine to increase pasture production. Worm farms can also feed in some of the chicken manure.... Sell chicken manure to farmers in the area.

      @@hemangalex786 type worm farms into you tube search. Also worms have high protein content, you could feed them live if you have plenty or if it's viable process and dry them. You can also sell worms to others. They are very good for using up household food and scrap waste, they produce liquid that can be used to fertilise soil and change soil structure as well as droppings which when mixed with soil makes the nutrients in the soil more available to plants.

      @@loliadanee8467 I forgot this one, fly larvae, I used to work on a chicken farm, but thought they are wasting alot of resources, I hope to get some chickens at home soon.... So get a bucket and make some holes at the bottom only small enough for fly larvae to crawl out of. First you get some rotten food or fish guts, and let the flies come and lay eggs, after a few days you put a lid on top and hang the bucket up high with the chickens as the larvae grow they will try to crawl out of bucket. When they find the holes they will fall out and your chickens will eat them, that is more protein for them.

    Hi; I too am beginning to grow my own chicken feed. I have started Moringa trees to use for feed as they have a 23% protein as well as all the amino acids our chickens need. I have a friend in Zambia and I know that Moringa grows very well in Africa and is actually better than the Moringa from India as there is less pollution in your land. I am also growing other varieties of plants to feed also so I was very excited to find your videos! Keep up the good work and keep blessing us with all you've discovered! Thanks!!!

    As we have coyotes here in the Pacific Northwest I cannot free range my chickens, so I do give them fodder. But also found out that if I plant some mixed greens in their coop under a hardware cloth mesh frame, the greens stay and they can feast upon the greens as much as they want. I tried planting inside the coop but they tear it up in three days, so yes the cost of feed is a problem, but am finding ways to extend my feed as well. Thanks

    Hi Daniel, thanx for the great information. I do have broilers and kroilers. Wen my broilers make 5weeks, I feed them 95% on kitchen wastes from home and nearby restaurants. I also feed them on yam leaves. I usually sell them off at 5months, weighing between 6-7kgs(remember a kg of chicken here in Uganda is 12000ugx) . My kroilers made two months yesterday, I want to also start supplementing with kitchen wastes and yam leaves and see their response.
