    Yes, though I'm not currently selling any. I have a culling project in place, working towards a set of relatively heavy, decent egg layers that forage well and have at least some predator awareness. Its a long process.

    Sadly, I can't help - forget the 2+ hour drive each way, I'm NPIP certified. I can't bring new poultry or eggs onto my property, unless its from another NPIP certified source, or I lose my NPIP status. Fortune favor your search.

    "my" expression is attributed in origin to the Navy SEALS, but I first read it some decades ago in a (military) sci fi novel, and have seen it since in lots of other novels. Most recently a Progression Fantasy (similar to LitRPG) book. So, no credit to me. All props to US Special Forces...

    Stormcrow's Hobby Farm

    Started a fresh pot before I went out to survey the damage. Life is better now. Sidewalls seem fine. I was spreading rock on a hill when the tire collapsed. Didn't take my time yesterday, getting the tractor ready for use - and it show today. "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." I rushed, and...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Honestly, I'm going to have to look over everything you are giving your birds, mull it over a bit, then make some recommendations. Having an egg stuck internally can happen to any chicken - there are a bunch of potential causes, but the high production breeds - leghorns, RIRs, NHRs, and the...

    Perennial Grass Options for Poultry Forage Lawn in the Southeast?

    Apart from talking to your extension office as others recommended above (and I am going to recommend it too), from experience ( I am also Zone 8a, FL Panhandle / Wiregrass region) I can tell you that fescue toxicity is a bit overblown. Clovers are excellent choices - I planted several varieties...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Math. I do Math. Lots of Math. Yet another service I provide BYC After a shower. I was on the tractor earlier moving tons of gravel. and yes, I think you are too fixated on calcium - chances are they are getting too much calcium, which is why they are avoiding discrete Ca sources like egg...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    3,000-4,500 iu / kg. A little shy 4,000 iu/kg is probably the "sweet spot" for most adult birds laying birds in most circumstances. 1 mg of Vitamin D3 is equal to 40,000 IU. and I'll recheck the label before doing the math. Seeing 0.01 mg per mg just isn't the way things are normally...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Which brand? which feed, specifically. good chance I can look up the label on my own. A well made Layer should provide all the Ca those birds, at those ages, should need.

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    these are the right questions, and the right thoughts to get started. Yes, chickens and other mammals metabolize D vitamins w/ the input of sunlight. However, production chicken breeds in their prime years probably can't make enough D3 - the D vitamin specific to Ca absorption and metabolism...

    Nutrient deficiency I can’t figure out

    Let's start w/ What are you feeding your birds, and how old are they? Nothing in Nature uses Calcium to exclusion. Yes, Calcium imbalances can cause a lot of problems. Calcium uptake is affected by acidity, its se in in conjunction w/ Phosphorus (the Ca : P ratio is VERY important) and...

    Is purina feed okay?

    But people w/ no prior posting history, making drive by unfalsifiable allegations against one maker or another, usually mid winter, typically followed quickly by claims off reduced rate of lay, and yet another explosion of conspiracies on FaceBook and other social media? Those we are familiar...

    Agree on the Black Silk. That's how I take mine as well. Sometimes with a bit of sugar. Depends on the day. Their quality has been inconsistent the last few years. I should probably learn to read their milling/roasting dates.
