We have been using this to improve egg production when needed. What we have been doing is toasting it on a cookie sheet. Sure smells good when roasting, lol.
So so sorry to hear about our Meg. She was such a wonderful girl. She reminds me of my Lucy and Buffy mixed together, Big, red and tough.
I'm sorry to hear about my namesake too. It is so nice have had her all these years and I know Suede was happy with her too.
I know, I just knew the people here would know how I feel.. that is, how cute he is, lol.
He is the product of a Golden laced cochin daddy with a black cochin mamma. He has been such a great boy.
He is a standard, and so far, his only son is Emerson, shown here with no wry tail. I understand that it can come through or not and it didnt'. His son is also much larger than he is.
Harvey was very ill as a chick and nearly died. I think that coupled with his breeders breeding probably...
Thanks, he looks better than his daddy, who I got from a breeder but he is so not "type" with his wry tail, and shortness, and other imperfections. He is a love though. His son, Emerson is just a great rooster too. Got his gentle temperament from his daddy.
It is so nice when someone wants to see your chickens pictures. Like a proud mama or grandma, here is Harvey. I took these this morning.
And his son, Emerson. His son's mama is a black cochin.
Has anyone used TVP to feed their chickens? I ran out of oatmeal and used it for a few days and the egg production went from 4 to 10. Now I understand that TVP has at least 50% protein.
Is this going to be harmful the the girls?
Anyone else give this to their girls?

Now keep in mind that this breeder only had the Wade Jean line I think it is of Copper Marans.... I'm still thinking the orpington is in there somewhere, or is that impossible given the beautiful egg color? Gosh, I love learning on here.
Ok, here is the egg from today. I think it is amazing that I have never seen her lay an egg....today I followed her all over the place to find out.
Ready....
