    Help! I have a chick and no starter food!

    I have one silver Phoenix that hatched about an hour ago, 1 day early can I grind up some layer crumbles to get it by until tomorrow? If not what do you recommend?

    Please tell me, is she about to lay eggs?

    My Silver Phoenix pullets are 17 weeks old. Two of them have reddish pinkish combs and two red wattles. The other three have a more white comb and don't even have wattles yet. Is the one with red wattles getting close to laying eggs? They'll be 20 weeks old on labor day.

    Western slope Coloradans. Where are you?

    Since western CO is like a different state than Eastern CO and so much prettier I thought I would start a thread so us westerners would have our own thread. To start, where do you get feed other than Murdochs? Do you heat your coops in the winter? We are just outside Gypsum...

    Showing Silver Phoenix

    I am showing one of my five SPs at the fair in a couple of weeks. They started out on 4-20-2009 so they are not laying yet. My 4-h project is breeding chickens so I want to use the best example of the breed. What features should I be focusing on?
