Do you have the lights on all night in the chicken coop, the chickens will not sleep they will stay active and chickens like to sleep off the ground on perches🎉, if those frogs are the poisonous ones you will lose your pigs best to find where they are getting in.
No the lights go off with a timer about 10.30 pm, the idea of extending the day light hours is so the chickens think its summer and birds lay more eggs in the summer. I know were in the tropics and daylight hours change little here but the the genetics are mostly northern hemisphere
Hi Chris yes I was contract growing for a large company, they had there own feed mills and formulated there own dry feed, all I had to do was feed them and clean the shed and manage the waste. I had a company vet on call 24/7 and regular by pig stock men. Here I'm on my own so a big learning curve for sure.
Good evening, Mr. Tyke. Try to get your own sow to breed your own pigs in the future
Hi Kenneth yes that's the plan, we will keep 3 or 4 females from the first batch of piglets.
Chickens will eat the catapillers
Hi Deb yes for sure no caterpillars in the chicken run.
