I don't know where to get chicks this time of year. In the spring Tractor Supply and the Farmer's Co-op will have them. I think they'll even special order some for you if you want at least six of a certain breed.
For feed, I would go to either TSC or Co-op unless you want to go organic or soy free. For organic feed, you can go to Agrifeed on Middlebrook. If you want soy free, I can give you the email of the guy that supplies Countryside feed to our area.
Hello! Thanks for sayin hey. I know of Niota I have not been there yet. So what kind of chickies do u have?
Ok Fey....definately a silkie mix. That is why there are 5 toes. Looks life from a partridge. The more fuzzy head is from the silkie too as well as the comb. Silkies have a walnut comb but for some reason when they mix the comb looks like half a walnut. I have a silkie/maran mix and his is like that too. I am trying to get a pic of him. We call him Frankenstein cause he was soooo ugly as a juvie. He is actually kinda pretty now. Glossy black feathers but the tail and cushion is blue. He has red leakage and a lot of red in his hackles. He is truly different! Teal earlobes are indicative of silkies....if it was a sizzle it would look like a silkie but the feathers would be all twirly. I will see if I can find a pic of mine to post for you to see.Thanks for the welcomes
good new - I went up and took a few fast chicken photos just before sunset --- have uploaded them, some are on new threads on What Breed/Gender thread.
bad new - While taking photos I discovered that Ugly appears to have found herself some leg mite & I fear they arrived on the new winter straw bedding I just spread ALL OVER my farm, to ALL the animals, sigh...gonna have to check everyone in the am...
This is the Sizzle I was given as a day old, it was said to be female but so were the extra 3 duck chicks my DH brought to me w/ the Del. chick and the 1 Duck I sent him to pick up.
Light was bad but the earlobe is actually TEAL, freaked me out, never knew they could be that color!
Extra toes, feathers on feet, just totally odd....
So, Sizzle looks to me like half Rabbit... :>
