    UPCOMING FLORIDA Swaps/Sales/Shows/Events/Fairs - GEORGIA too

    Barberville is this weekend, I'll be there in my other disguise with my worms and trying to control my current case of chick fever. I want to get blue egg layers this year. https://www.facebook.com/events/130782220902385/

    How many meal worms should I give a chicken?

    There are at least 1600 live mealies in a half-pound, that many in a dried quarter. At least, that's my estimate. 200 per ounce There are 50 in and out of the bottle cap in my photo for reference.

    Comment by '4paws' in article 'How To Raise Mealworms'

    I've been itching to start raising these for a while, and I would love to do it outside or my screened porch, BUT, I'm in Florida and am concerned that the summer humidity would be a problem. Thoughts, please? I like that you do it in one container rather than dividing them as I've seen most do.

    Eggcellent service at Efowl

    Update on my messed up order from Hoover via eFowl: eFowl refunded my entire order. They were going to return part of it and build an order from Cackle, but it's weeks out for the breeds I want, and I want to be done with chicks by then. So, eFowl get great marks in my book. Hoover, not so...

    Eggcellent service at Efowl

    I think if they shipped on Wednesday as they were supposed, with Friday arrival, the outcome would have been different, but still not the breeds. We had been in touch with the post office, but no one knew anything. Apparently, Hoover Hatchery is having a lot of trouble this year, at least...

    Eggcellent service at Efowl

    I am having a similar experience with eFowl right now, even the delayed shipping, but so far, it's been a horrible experience. The hatchery is Hoover, and they substituted Rainbows for Welsummers. They are nothing like Welsummer nor any other, and less expensive. They are not like Easter Eggers...

    First post after years of lurking - What breed is this?

    Well, thank you all very much. More or less verified what I already knew. :-( I hope they all prove to be good layers, because they're costing me $5.60/month each to feed fermented soy-free organic, put me double over the number of birds I'm allowed to have, and are not the breeds I planned to...

    First post after years of lurking - What breed is this?

    Hi, This is my very first post, though I joined years ago and have quietly lurked. I am new to chickens, less than a year now, but I dove in head first, and have learned a lot, especially from mistakes, and I really, really enjoy having them. My intent is to have only layers, but had also...
