Thank you for the picture and egg info. That’s what I was hoping for. Wanted to attach a pix of the Purina I have but don’t see how to attach it? Not sure if a faulty bag or the norm, but they are eating very little of it. I think I’ll return it and order the Kalmbach.
I feed Kalmbach Flock maker pellets, but recently purchased Purina All Flock crumbles for the new chicks in lieu of Kalmbach crumbles. Purina is very fine and almost a powder. Wondering if anyone has compared crumble size, and/or might have a picture to share of the Kalmbach crumble? Since...
Just wanted to share my experience with both feeds in question. While I do realize there could be many variables involved (calcium, weather, time of year etc) with my issues, my results in those issues have been drastically reduced.
Upon the recommendations of BYC, I just switched to Kalmbach...
Thank you all for the input. I’m currently using this flock maker. Just placed my second autoship-Chewy even had an additional $1 off promotion. I really battled putting them on the 20% high protein layer. I don’t have a rooster in this pen and I have troubles with them regulating their calcium...

I want to change over to this food per this groups recommendations. My question is Chewy’s pricing. I can live with $24.99/autoship price, but I don’t want to start...
Can you please provide info on this ivermectin? Which one? Can it be used for preventative or used when I see mites? I continually battle mites on a hen with cross beak. Can you eat eggs after dosing?
Thank you all for your input. I don’t have any issues with them eating pellets, however last 3 bags of pellets are crumbling to powder in the feeders. I’ve been using Nutrena Nature Wise Hearty Hen for last 2 years. It’s good dates, stored in bags in metal trash cans, doesn’t look or smell...
Thinking to try this new feed. Also contemplated Nutrena Nature Wise Harvest Blend. Wondering if all the ingredients will make them pick out what they like only, and spoil them to not eat the pellets? Or is it good to have the variety of ingredients? They are currently eating layer pellets...
Thank you, I’m looking to add day old chicks. They will be in a separate pen from old flock, at least until juveniles. I think I’m being overly sensitive regarding Mereks. I will have them vaccinated.
I’m considering adding new Merek vaccinated chicks (non broody) to my nonMerek vaccinated flock.
I want to let their future eggs hatch utilizing my existing broody hens. Is there any danger of diseases etc being passed from a healthy hen to chicks that I should be concerned with? Merek...
I received 2 buff Orpingtons with broken top beaks around 6 weeks ago. They have no problem eating though a little hard to pick up treats. I do have feed in a bucket for them, but I also see them eating out of the feeder. I’m trying to cut the bottom beaks back a little. Not sure how long...
Yes both bags, same mill date March 29. I store it in the original bag in closed metal trash cans. The big pieces sunk to bottom, little pieces throughout. Picture was of the new bag just opened with small one on top. Dug through bag and found larger also. Should I give them something in case it...
I found these in my chicken feed. Nutrena Nature Wise Hearty Hen. I don’t recall ever seeing anything like it. Bag was mostly finished when I found them. I got both bags from the same place.
I haven’t received contact back from Nutrena yet. I’m planning to take the freshly opened 2nd bag. Not...
