Thanks! She a good girl too, nice & friendly. She'll be 4 this year, I'm still trying to get a dark hen from her eggs - I just keep getting dark drakes or slightly darker than normal hens! Everything I've read said dark hens are more rare.
I use TownLine for all my poultry orders and LOVE THEM!!
I ordered an Isa Brown and they sent me my AmberLink as a booboo.. wouldn't change it for the world. "Jewel" is one of the friendliest hens we have. Follows us around and is almost jealous if we pay any attention to any of the other ladies...
We are raising them for food and the people that want them want organic so i do have to look for that specifically unfortunately. Since they are for food they'll only be around for about 2 months so i have to make sure they have it. I called Whole Foods by me, they don't have it :(
good...
They do have brewers yeast, just not the non gmo or organic kind. And the smallest bottle I've ever seen. Ive been mixing in several niacin capsules (emtied of corse) in there food too, but this is kind of dumb. How do they get so much in nature? I need to do that! Im gonna go broke trying to...
I can't find any organic brewers yeast in my area, will regular yeast do the same for the Niacin they require? I found some GMO Free yeast at the Vitamin Shoppe that says it provides 270% of a humans daily Niacin value. I've been adding Niacin tabs to their water but they waste SO MUCH! I have...
no brown, yet
they just turned 5 weeks yesterday thou so his feathering may change.
still has the white bib flanked by his black feathers coming in.. goofy looking for sure lol
I will keep that breed in mind as they grow.
Thanks!
update (post #26) on my 4 BJGs (ordered all roos) and 2 freebies ordered from Towneline Hatchery, Mich
1 is a Hen BJG
2 are Australorp Roos
1 may be a different breed all together!!
pretty sure the remaining 2 are BJG roosters, YEAH!
any guesses of what the random could be? It looks similar...
I ordered 4 BJG roosters and got 2 "freebies" from the hatchery.. however some of their feet are pink and some are yellow... ?
I know the Yellow/Black footed birds would be my BJG, what would look the same but have pink feet, not white?
