Chickens will eat worms and injest goat parasites which cannot survive inside of them. I think they do a better job because their beaks are designed more for pecking and their feet for scraping.
We used to have a duck. He killed 2 of our chickens.
Tell that to my chickens. They smell worms from 50' away and come a runnin'. They also eat tomato worms, all beetles, maggots, mice, frogs, and anything else that moves. I have to rescue praying mantis from them.
So with all
Of the excitement of the fair I didn't update our milk test last week
Gimger and Cocoa earned their stars in fat
Was really worried about the drop off after the fair
The does were being milked 3 times per day and then you start skipping to get a show fill
Well good news
All of the does except the FF are milking over 2 lbs per day
FF about 1.5lbs
