    What kind of chicks are these?

    Yes they do have BCM. I bought 7 pullets from them in June. They were hard to come by because they were sold out for the summer but I called every week for a couple of months to see if they had any extra hatches & finally one day they called & said someone had cancelled their order & did I want...

    What kind of chicks are these?

    They were all supposed to be pullets. I know I've got one roo for sure in the top pic. Those in the top pic were supposed to be Jersey Giants but I'm beginning to think they are BCM. They are colored alot like the BCMs I have already. Thanks for clarifying about hatchery quality SLW because I...

    What are we?

    I have a duck named Aflac too! Pretty much like every other duck on the planet, but I thought it was cute.

    Does my pullet have Mareks?

    I thought I would update this post to let anyone that may be interested know what happened to my hen. She eventually started losing weight & not wanting to eat so I took her to my vet & he thought it would be best to put her down & autopsy her. She ended up having an ear infection that went into...

    Organic feed alternative???

    Thanks so much for all the info! I actually had written the number down for Maysville feed & was going to call & see how much it would be to buy direct. Apple Creek is probably an hour & 15 min drive for me, but for a discount of $7.50 a bag I will make the drive for as much as I'm going...

    Organic feed alternative???

    I have about 60 chickens and 3 pekin ducks. I am currently feeding organic laying mash, 16% protein, that I buy from Meyer Hatchery at a cost of $22 per 50# bag. I am going through SOOO much feed right now!! I realize I have a lot of chickens but 200# of feed lasted 10 days. Being relatively...

    Where can i find DE in central Ohio?

    I just got a 50# bag from Meyer Hatchery in Polk for $25. I know they ship feed & would probably ship this too, but not sure of the cost. I live about 35 miles from there so I just go pick it up.

    Need advice on coop run expansion!!!!!

    Yes, the comfort level is an issue for me which is why I thought I'd ask here before I started it. I would love to use more chain link panels, but honestly the cost is just a bit much for me right now. I've already got close to $800 invested in the coop, fencing, paint & I already had the chain...

    Need advice on coop run expansion!!!!!

    I am wanting to expand my run to give my chickens some more room. Their current run is very safe (chain link 10'x30', 6ft high, hardware cloth on bottom half that runs 2ft under the pen & is attached to the ground with landscape staples, & it is covered. I have an extra door to the back of the...

    Does my pullet have Mareks?

    Thanks! I did change the title like you suggested so hopefully I will get some response. Some of the symptoms sounded like it could be Mareks from what I've read about it, but since I'm new to this I just don't know for sure. I also read that they could still get Mareks even though they were...
