    Protein Percentage Question - Organic Feed

    Yes, my scratch is organic non-GMO as well, it's Nature's Grown Organic with the MOSA tag. I actually called and asked because they didn't label is Non-GMO, apparently anything with the MOSA tag is Organic and Non-GMO. It is 8%. The only thing they are getting is the dang B O Sunflowers, but a...

    Protein Percentage Question - Organic Feed

    Alright, well thanks guys. I'll cut the scratch out, at least down to a minimum. It wasn't a big mason jar actually, it's one of the small ones, but still. I'll cut the scratch for now. The problem I'm having with them now is that they love to hang out by the actual bird feeders and eat the...

    Protein Percentage Question - Organic Feed

    Hmm.. thank you, that's good to know. What do you mean by ferment it? You have a link with instructions? How long does that take and what are the benefits of it? I imagine it might add some healthy pro-biotic bacterias or something to it, but not too sure with chicken food.. just curious, never...

    Protein Percentage Question - Organic Feed

    So I should just keep feeding them this starter until 20ish weeks and then bump them up to layer? I thought I read somewhere that higher protein can be bad for them if they get too much at an earlier age. Not sure if 20% is too high though considering I've seen higher. By looking at other...

    Protein Percentage Question - Organic Feed

    Ok, I've been giving my chicks 20% Prince Organic Non-GMO Chick Starter their whole lives. They are 10 weeks old next week and that's when they say to stop feeding it to them. Problem is, I'm having a hard time getting them an Organic Developer stage organic/non-GMO food. I actually work in a...

    No See Ums or something similar. Tiny Flying Biting insects in coop.

    Alright. I'm having a small issue with the coop right now that I don't remember having growing up or maybe I'm just more conscience of now. Tiny little biting bugs. They bite me, they bother the chickens. They are REALLY small, barely visible even, but you definitely feel the bites. From what...

    Delaware - Rooster or Hen? 1 Month Old.

    Thanks a lot guys, I'll definitely keep you updated. It's strange, HER comb does look a little pink at times, sometimes it doesn't. It's not just you or the pictures, heh. The Buff's comb is big and if someone is being picked on, the antagonist is definitely this little guy. I like him though...

    Delaware - Rooster or Hen? 1 Month Old.

    There we go, thanks for your patience, that was an ordeal. My phone didn't want to upload and my computer is old and doesn't like cooperating with my phone too easily. Anyways, As you can see, SHE has much fuller feathers than both of my roosters and looks the same as my other hens so I don't...

    Delaware - Rooster or Hen? 1 Month Old.

    I have a Delaware chick that I believed was and was supposed to be a pullet. SHE (I'm in denial at this point) has been looking like all the other chicks in my batch aside from my two OBVIOUSLY Rooster Buff Orpingtons. Today, when I was pulling up to my driveway after coming home from work.. I...

    Mixed Flock - Question about Delawares

    Thanks Michael. I'm not too concerned with my Delawares being lap level pets, so that's fine. I'm going to try and buddy up with my Buff Rooster, that's about it, I've never had a problem with hens. This will be a first time for having Buffs, but I pretty much hear nothing but good things about...

    Mixed Flock - Question about Delawares

    Ok, I haven't had chickens in years. This year I just bought 11 chicks, 3 buffs, 2 Black Australorpes, 3 Bard rocks, and what I believe to be 3 delawares. I've had Australorps and Bard Rocks before and I was really happy with their demeanor and just the overall way they acted, even the Roosters...
