I regularly feed my flock Purina and I really like it.  I thought I'd try something a little different, bought it at Peterson's Country Store...I'm almost done with the bag and all the chickens still have poo that's runnier than normal.  From day one when I switched their freed.  Won't do this again...I'll look at the bag more closely for a name this evening.  I also fed Nutrena (which is a good brand) for a couple bags when I took the chicks off of medicated chick started, and liked it.  Just like the Purina better.  (But would never feed their food to my cat or dogs! LOL...their companion animal feeds leave a lot to be desired.)

Sasah, are you still ready for that incubator?  Next week.  I am done with it, squeaky clean coming your way. 

Hey everyone..I have a friend that I haven't seen on this thread, but she may show up now, because she sent me a message asking me if I wanted any of her Lavender A...or EE's.  If you can roos..she has those too..she is moving.

Her name on here is dsgard.  These chickens are free..and beautiful.  I got a blue from her a couple of years ago, will post a pic..that I'm sure you have seen by now, it was my first blue.  I didn't know she was working on lavenders.  The EE's are this years hatch.  So still pretty young. 

Bigger than the lavenders I had hatch that you guys have.  This is a blue, I haven't checked out her latest pictures, going to soon though.  :)

And oh yeah, she has turkeys too.  

ARA, I have several Swedish Flower's pipped!   And, I have one of the Faverolles pipped.  Here we go!   Man, I hope I have a good hatch with these, after what just happened with my Silkies!   Same ol same ol..not sure what's up with that.  I need to find a roo for my splash..maybe having eggs here would work.

Cynthia, thank you so much for the introduction!    I do have a mixed bag of chickens that I am going to give away.  The oldest ones are three years old.  I have a GLW and a SLW that are three.  The two year olds are light and dark Brahmas, black AM's and lavendar AM's.  This year's bunch is mainly farmyard mix EE's although I do have one lavendar AM pullet.  Out of the two year olds I have a really nice black AM roo and a lavendar AM roo.  Both are very well behaved.  I do have a light Brahma roo but his behavior is questionable so he is probably better off in the stew pot (he is two years old).  I will try to get some pictures tomorrow of the bunch and post them on this thread.  You will have to forgive their appearance though since they have started molting and some of the girls have bare backs from the breeding.  They are all very healthy and love to free range.  If anyone is interested, PM me and we can arrange meeting somewhere.  I would take them with me but I really don't want to drag them 1700 miles to Virginia.  Cynthia is right, I do have turkeys but I am planning on butchering them although I could be persuaded to give one or more up if someone wants one to keep.  I have two black spanish toms, one bourbon red hen and one blue slate hen (all hatched this year) and one bourbon red tom that is two years old. 

Cynthia, Cotton is adorable!!
