Organic (BIO) – The BIG question

Considering my small experiment of trying to hatch some chickens, I started to search for solutions to feed them. I’m not a “only-BIO” addict, but I try to find solutions to feed my family as close to the natural way as possible, so I also want to feed my pets the natural way.

I know that small chicks can be feed naturally using egg yolk and cornmeal, but being at work most of the day I was searching for some baby chick crumbs to feed them. And guess what, there are no organic baby chick crumbs to buy in our country. Many say that their products are natural, but none organic. They also contains medications. Maybe for a big grower that is ok, but not for me.

Now the BIG question that occur to my mind – what the “organic (BIO)-certified” poultry growers feed their birds in our country? I suppose they don’t boil hundreds of eggs and mince them to feed the baby chicks.

Hmmm?

Hatching chicken eggs – experiment

Last weekend we went to the countryside to see and aunt. There, my girl saw some white bantam chickens. She loved them so much, it was love at first sight 🙂

So we asked for some eggs to hatch. We got 4 eggs 🙂

And then the adventure begun. We ordered a 4 eggs incubator and waited patiently for it to arrived.

Meanwhile we put the eggs in a thermobag keeping them at 8-12 C and turning them daily.

Finally the incubator arrived and Saturday we set it up.

I have a feeling that the next 21 days will pass very slowly, keeping an eye on the eggs waiting for the little chicks to hatch 🙂

Keep your fingers crossed for our little experiment to succeed 🙂

Gainute si cocosi

V-am zis ca pap oua albastre de la gaini cu nume ciudat – ameraucana, ei bine ele sunt si frumoase si m-am gandit sa le fac putin vedete ca prea imi sunt dragi 🙂

Iaca-ta-le, o mica parte din ele si dinte ei, ca doar nu pot fi singure, fara aparatori 🙂

Cum stabilesti sexul la pui

Am vazut mai demult un articol despre cum poti stabili sexul la pui inca din primele zile, insa am uitat. Acum am gasit din nou informatia aici si m-am hotarat sa va spun si voua si sa-mi notez si eu ca sa nu mai uit, asta pentru atunci cand voi avea pui 🙂
