Can't figure out how to start a thread on my phone. I'll start here and add the videos from my phone. They are of me walking into my friends backyard with todays spent grains. He raises each chicken by hand from just a few days old. No two are the same breed. Hope you enjoy.

I don't follow. Are the patties make from the chickens and spent grains for you or your animals?

Not sure what's going on. I keep getting a failed to upload due to network error. Don't know which end the error is happening.
I'll keep trying. The first one is Graham's chickens walking with me as I go into the backyard with the grains. The second is them pecking at the grain pile.
I've not had problems with this before.....weird.

Sorry, can't help much as I don't have much access here.
Have you posted videos from your phone before? Seems odd that would work with no real server source or have you uploaded them somewhere?

My chickens go nuts for them, too. They run toward the gate of the coop when they see me coming with the pot of grains.

Ink, I'm still waiting to see the vid of you getting chased by a lot of chicks.
In the meantime....... I had chickens for a lot of years but that was before I started brewing so I never had a chance to give them spent grains. My chicken coop got in bad shape so I tore it down and got rid of the chickens with the thought after I retired I would get some chickens again. I'm going to get a new chicken coop this summer but probably won't get chicks until next spring.

I'm sorry for this. I've keep trying, but it keeps kicking it out. Not sure whats going on as I've posted videos from my phone before. I will keep trying.
They are funny, they cluck and cackle while following we to where I drop it. Graham use to have a chicken with a broken leg (bird of prey incident) she would sit in the middle of the grain pile and just enjoy herself.

I have lots of chickens. When I go into the pen to dump the spent grains, I swear they all come running screaming THANK YOU in chicken language! They go nuts over them. I hatch each one myself in an incubator. Each one has a name.... crock pot gal, chicken pot pie, squeeky, stud muffin, elvis, etc. Most of them I just call... Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.
