Waste Grist

[fatnurse]

Awesome thread, I'm about to do my first AG tomorrow, my chickens and ducks are going to love breakfast on saturday

[WishboneBrewery]

Pay-off last night, our neighbour brought us eggs

[chris_reboot]

and don't they taste all the better for it?

God I miss my Chucks I'm Sorry I had to let them go now, specially that I could treat them to spent grain now I'm brewing.

I might get a couple of feertilized eggs and have a go at raising a few again. Good for the kids and they should be extra tasty with a waste grist diet

The only problem with hatching from eggs is that half are likely to be male, and will annoy your neighbours for a good few weeks between finding their voice and being big enough to eat.

We have three chooks and, greedy as they are, they would struggle to get through the grain from an 8 gallon batch so I freeze the grain in small bags and then chuck 'em a frozen lump of grain every now and again. They love chasing the frozen lump around the garden. If only I could freeze the grain in perfect spheres it would be even more entertaining...

The horses in the adjacent field have found that they can reach the top of the compost heap
They now come running across when I appear with a load, although they are a bit hesitant while it is still steaming hot!

It is a shame that the neighbours with chucks and ducks so two faced.....

I like kids as well although I don't think I could eat a whole one

We have 40 odd chooks and they soon clear up my grains. The rats were a problem earlier but the HW97K is always waiting. Blatting a rat with a .22 must give an amusing effect? Rather fancy having a go with the .22-250, serious backstop required! Poor value though at over a pound a round. However the worst outcome from my grains occurred when the terriers got amongst it. They love it and feast with devotion. Then after an incubation period proceed to pebble dash the kitchen at night with the most monstrous turds. Keep it away from dogs in my experience!

Sorry but that made me laugh!

You got dogs? Hilarious in someone elses kitchen! Perhaps spike your neighbours dogs? New urban game perhaps.

Don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but, a year or two ago, someone on here posted a recipe for making dog biscuits out of used grain. I do not own a dog, but I made some anyway. The dogs down the local pub went mad for them. One day an Alsation followed me home. I left the pub a good half hour before the dog 'escaped', so it must have followed the aroma home.

Now that right there is an entertaining pub game: feeding laxative grain biscuits to other folk's dogs.

Unless of course they can escape and follow you to your house
I now swap grain and beers for eggs to some friends I didn't know kept chickens the eggs are lush
