Ah, thank you Geebs

Hmmm, I wonder if they could eat Natural Glo? That's a stablized rice bran product for horses. It makes their coats shiny.

I suppose it's probably not such a great idea to feed the same food to different species.


Anyone ever fed their Chickens Natural Glo?

oohhhhh...sure, I see! You lurk in the "other thread" my dear friend but you don't pop in and say HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't noticed blood spots in my Marans eggs but I have noticed them from time to time in my light brown egg layers eggs, but I don't eat that many of my eggs as they are all earmarked for eating egg customers, and knowing my customers like I do they would have me know pronto if they found something undesireable in them.

I agree with Jan and the possibility of lacking a vitamin. Sweet potatoes are history here at my house once they hit the goodie bowl. I just gave the chicks in the brooder a piece of warm cooked sweet potato and they didn't stop until it was gone and left all the other stuff that it was mixed in with. Tummies are full now and we are finally sleeping this morning, they have been chirping up a storm since I got up. They're so peaceful when they are sleeping..................funny, I'm sure my parents said the same thing about me and my siblings when we were sleeping.

Ahahahhahha

The first page scared me away and I never came back. Besides I thought it would be safer to post on a thread that didn't have the "M" word in the title

hee
Sweet Potatoes huh? Ok well, they've never had taters before. That might be fun to try this weekend.

Drom...It goes through cycles... Lately the thread is very user friendly..

When it gets nasty mods are called quickly.... It has remained a friendly environment for a few weeks now

Come on over... you can hide behind me... I will

"em" for ya!!! Nice thread over here though... I think everyone knows your thread is a "drama-free" zone.

Honest opinions......Welsummers or marans.....NOT BOTH
Seems to me that marans are very complicated. I've got both right now but I'm not exactly sure about keeping both.
