Has anyone tried grinding Asian carp up for children feed. They are very plentiful and invasive over here. I've tried to feed them whole with not much luck. My chickens love venison scraps in the winter so I was hoping they would eat fish as well, but I haven't tried grinding them up yet. Great job on the video!!👍
That's such a great idea...I'm in South Africa...and lots of corn (mielies) here. Just brilliant out if box thinking. Lots of hard (white) corn, which isn't great to eat on cob (vs sweet corn). And really cheap, if not processed. Thanks so much!! (And you get the composting thing as well) I'm all for least cost/more efficient ways of doing things...esp the mundane stuff.👍👍👍
I have been feeding mine (I only have 8) a cup of whole kernel corn, black oil sunflower, and rolled oats for about 2 weeks now. They are spoiled after eating all the 🍇 that fell into run. My vines are on south side of chicken run and grow over top for shade. Anything they can reach is fair game. They prefer the red over green or purple but will eat all.
Fortunately where we are geographically, that isn’t a huge problem. We also have cats patrolling our farm, and we store all surplus feed in rodent proof containers
That is the tank room for the solar powered water collection system. There are a couple of videos about building it on the channel if you want to check them out!
The cob is mostly just filler, but it won’t have any negative effects on your chickens. For us, it just adds material to the deep bedding, mulch we like to keep in our runs
@@ChanyataFarm Just came across your video today. The cobs have a fair amount of protein in them, so they're more than just filler. Thanks for the video.

The bag idea was genius, glad it ended up working out! Great video! Love the drone shots! 😃

This is genius!!!
You have given me an idea. I can grow me some form next year and do this for fodder to feed my chickens and Guineas.
I don’t know that there is enough nutritional value to use it as your only feed source, but it can definitely drive your feed cost way down
Thanks for your video
I live on a mountain in Costa Rica spring year round!
Awesome drone shots!!!
This is exactly what I have been wanting to do! Just with the husks removed prior to the grinder as cattle feed!
It worked great!
Cows will eat the husk also, along with stalk. Always turn the cows into the field after I pick it
I grind up corn oat barley
Great thinking. I can see adding other greens or compost-related foliage as well. Has this use of corn increased your rodent invasion rate?

Neighbor uses one of those to grind up his feed for his hogs
Did you add an addition to your coop run on the left?

@@ChanyataFarm sorry man I just found the videos.....thanks for the direction. For what its worth you did a great job on the build
How did you secure the bag to the chipper?
Just with a small length of rope
Did u modify the chipper in any way ?
No mods at all
I can grind my corn and cobs together and feed to my chickens,?

WHY NOT DO THE STALK ALSO AN GREENER RUN IT THROUGH A PELLET MACHINE FOR FOOD
so your stealing corn from someone's field not a smart thing to do unless you have permission to take some
Well it’s my field….
