Awesome job Layers!

I know I am slow on this, but my dad used to feed soy free feed. It was whole grains, pretty sure there was corn. He quit though, because he said the chickens picked what they wanted and wasted the rest. If you want to try though, I think your best bet would be to find a feed mill that...

Thanks! Why isn't Ralphie showing? Is he ok?

I haven't been in here in a long time, like since last year. I'm not even going to try to catch up, but going to try joining in again. :) All is well here. I had a late season, as I didn't get my breeds separated until the beginning of June. I have half baked chicks in the incubator now...

I have learned a bit about DNA lately that I never knew before. It makes sense once you think about it, but unless your parents were both 100% something (which rarely happens), you can't know what percentage of things you are. You don't get an even amount of genes from each "nationality"...

Morning all. :) I lost a young pullet this morning. I went out to feed them this morning, and noticed she was looking unhappy... ruffled feathers, didn't want to eat. I picked her up to check for the obvious, eyes didn't look sick, she didn't feel thin, had food in her crop, checked for...

OK, just wanted to make sure. :D I did. It's probably true, but I can imagine having a chicken living with me. I love them, but not that much. LoL I'm so sorry! Moved my chicks from their brooder tote to my chick pen in the barn coop. I need to keep my chickens locked up for a...

Cute pic! I can't not say it though. Do you realize that her bridle is WAY too loose?

Fun! What other colors do you have?
