Morning Routines and Poultry Care at Dexter’s Farm
Welcome to a Day at the Farm!
Good morning, everyone! It’s Dexter, and I’m thrilled to start the day with you all here at our bustling farm. As the sun rises, I’m already out with my camera, ready to bring you along for a typical morning filled with chores, discoveries, and, of course, the joy of farm life.
Feeding Time: A Peek into Poultry Nutrition
Today, we’re focusing on our healthy chicks and their diet, which is crucial for their growth and well-being. I’ve recently introduced ‘daids’ into their diet—these are incredibly nutritious and super easy to cultivate right here on the farm. Mixed with rice, these daids provide a balanced meal, ensuring our chicks grow up healthy and robust.
The Miracle of Nature: Bugambilia in Bloom
While walking through the farm, I can’t help but stop and admire the blooming bugambilias. Their vibrant colors remind me of the beauty that surrounds us daily and the miracles of nature that we often take for granted. These flowers aren’t just pleasing to the eye; they also play a part in the ecosystem of our farm, attracting pollinators and adding to the farm’s biodiversity.
Sustainable Farming: Growing Daid Plants
Let’s talk about daids! Not only are they a fantastic source of protein for our chickens, but they’re also incredibly sustainable. You only need some water from the fish pond and a sunny spot to start growing your own. However, it’s crucial to find a balance—the intense summer sun can cause tip burn, so a little shade is beneficial to keep them thriving.
A Visit to the Duck Ponds
As we continue our tour, it’s time to check on our ducks. They are prolific layers, and today we’ve found numerous eggs nestled comfortably under protective mothers. Managing these ducks teaches us valuable lessons about sustainable poultry farming and helps maintain a steady supply of farm-fresh eggs.
What’s for Breakfast? Feeding our Feathered Friends
Feeding our poultry is more than just a chore—it’s a way to connect with the animals and understand their needs. Today’s special menu includes a mix of daids and rice bran, a nutritious combination that promotes health and vitality. It’s delightful to watch the chicks and our bantam rooster eagerly pecking at their breakfast.
The Importance of Diet in Poultry Care
Providing a varied and nutritious diet is crucial for the health of our poultry. By incorporating natural food sources like daids and azola, and even banana trunks for our chickens, we ensure they receive all the nutrients they need for optimal health. This not only affects their growth and egg-laying capabilities but also their ability to resist diseases.
