Thought I'd be a little more specific about what breed of chicks I want.
Me, one mean rooster, 8 hens of the heinz 57 variety, three cats, and one bored dog!
:jumpyYes, I'm looking for preferably Buff Orpingtons. If I can't find those, I'll take Rhode Island Reds. No bantams. I love bantams; they are just too cute to butcher!!!! Can't do it.
I'd like a run of mostly females. Will consider a straight run. Would like around 50 chicks.
I appreciate the info about feeding scratch. Didn't know that it raised the body temp. I mixed it in with egg crumble and corn. I'll keep doing that for now 'cause cooler weather is coming on. I also mix in food grade DE with my feed and feed only non-medicated feed. I put it in my 30...
I have 3 roos and 9 hens. Dominis and RIR. Often times, I see the other two roosters jump on top of the rooster mating! My roos are beautiful. Big red combs, one domi and 2 RIRs. Yes, I want advice!
