    Lavender Orpington Thread

    If I remember correctly mine start showing around 12 weeks. very clear difference by 16 weeks as pictured. Pretty sure we get some "crowing" by 12 weeks as well, at least strange, disturbing screaming... that eventually sounds like crowing These are 16 weeks with clear saddle feathers and you...

    @flaisure it's very difficult to tell with Lavender Orpingtons, I think the best sign is when you see saddle feathers that means it's a Cockerel. That is the clearest earliest gender sign in mine.

    I think diatomaceous earth would take care of worms and other intestinal parasites.

    @The Moonshiner What do you think of the pictures above of my Mauve pullet? Does she look Mauve to you? or some other combination? I have no idea her parents....

    Chocolate Male x Mauve Female= 25% Mauve Females, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Blue Males(Split) and 25% Mauve Males I think this is about right but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. this is all based on sex linked Chocolate not Dun.

    It is the one on Bear Creek. I didn't ask at the co-op, I have bought from the co-op several times but not looking for Tuckers. I went to this place because the Tucker's milling website said their feed was carried there. No big deal. Just a change of plans!

    Well, Columbia Farm Supply doesn't have Tucker's feed there. Owell won't be trying it then. lol. Their website must be off.

    Awesome, I have learned so much about our local feed opportunities! And it is great to hear the testimonials as well as expertise. I think I will try Tucker's and maybe test it verses Johnnie's.

    I figured it is the price of the non-gmo grains.

    Wow! That's much better than internet prices. Is that for 50lb bags?

    Johnnie Taylor is as close as I can find. He is in the middle of Amish country! Ethridge TN, 16 dollars for a 50 lb bag or 90 dollars for 300 lbs. They deliver occasionally.

    That's helpful, they sell right in Columbia! Bit expensive for me though...Will probably stick with Taylor.

    Thank you both so much very insightful. For some reason I am just weirded out by feeding powder instead of pellets or grains. O and I never answered my location, I am in Columbia, Johnnie delivers here :D

    Thank you so much rjohns! Good bit of education already! I do have one question( maybe I could Google it but this is more fun :D) what is the difference between soy meal and roasted soy?

    Has anyone else tried the non GMO feed from Taylor family farms? http://taylorfamilyfarmtn.com/chicken-feed.html If so, what did you think of feeding powdery feed instead of pellets? Or, have you used another type of feed that is in powder form (similar to flour) and do you think it is OK...
