Been finding conflicting info from books and people who raise and sell poultry so I am continuing research. 'Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens' (page 103) says for Layers 0-6 weeks (starter) give 18-20% protein. - Layers 6-14 weeks (grower) give 16-18% protein. Thanx for your info!

How much was the 50 lb. bag of feed? And also what % of protein in the feed?

Somehow I have one more chicken than I previously posted. Another Ameraucana followed me home! How did that happen? O.K., 8 chicks! That's it, I'm done (for now)!

I'm sure they'll warm up to you. Maybe it's the breed? Do u think?

Thanks for the Congrats! Very happy here, trying not to check on them all night!

The guy is having a hatch in 1 1/2 weeks (his own flock) and it's straight run, and they go fast. I didn't ask how many eggs he has in the 'bator. Is there a way to sex them early? Things I can look for? Also I don't think he ships.

Just have to announce, it's official, we now have our very own little flock of chickens! Yay! I have 3 Black Sex Links, 2 Barred Rock and 2 Ameraucana. They are a week old and doing great! I'm looking to add a Mille Fleur d'uccle Bantam in about a week and a half. After that I will start...

The Baltimore Oriole is a very pretty bird, usually way high up in a tree and harder to spot. But if it's nesting try to see the nest because they are 'weavers'. They weave a hanging basket nest for their nest. Nice to see when you get a glimpse!

Always do what you have to in order to protect life, limb and property of you and your loved ones. Just - be discreet!

The DEC does not allow you to relocate wildlife without a permit so be discreet about your capture and release of wildlife. I know because when I moved where I am now I had a red squirrel infestation. The previous owner liked to feed the local wildlife shelled peanuts by just leaving piles of...

Since I am building a coop (and almost complete) I'd be willing and able to give 1 roo and up to 8 extra girls you may have a kind, caring home in the Catskills. As I am nearly broke and my gf just recently lost her job I can't even offer to pay shipping. If I can help by taking some, let me know.

Flea infestation can give a kitten/ cat anemia. Too many baths may be also give the cat a chill if she's in a weakened condition. A flea comb is great and dip the comb in rubbing alcohol to kill trapped fleas and dump them in the liquid. Combing with rubbing alcohol worked for me and my two...

Adorable!

If you sell out - take orders! Or hand out printed sell sheets where they can place follow-up orders, web site, name, address, etc. Maybe one piece should be reserved as one you don't sell so you continue to show it and take orders for more. My two cents.

Is that what they call a Hippy Chick? Get it?...Long silkie hair? Hippie Chick? jk.. Can't wait to see her all fluffy!

Narrowsburg is up the road from me here. This is what we all look like up here before we have our morning coffee! That's a guy I know Danny headed to his pickup truck going out for coffee. Most people need a shave up here, but hey image isn't everything.

So very cool! Thanks for the updates and I'll need more pix!

Hope your lil silkie feels better. 6 more from Brimfield? Seems like your moments away from an intervention. Maybe you need a country/summer home in the foothills of the Catskill Mtns.

Wow, amazing! Congrats! Great work! You must be sooo happy!

You're both very nice. I think I can come up with chicks if I search locally... Long Island seems pretty far away when your up in the sticks up here. I've been busy building and have not had time to look. I think I may have to get chicks no longer needing lights and constant monitoring due to...
