    Opal Legbar Growth Thread

    I’m going to post pics of my Opal Legbar here as she grows up. I hope this helps anyone who is looking for info on this pretty new breed that was originally developed by Candace Waldon. Unfortunately, I don’t know where my Opal came from as I picked her up at my local feed store. I assume a...

I take her out occasionally to forage around and eat something, and I have to take her out of the nestbox at night so she can roost in the coop because my other two hens want to stay with her and are...

    Scratch & Peck Now Contains Diatomaceous Earth In Their Feeds

    I was looking through the Scratch & Peck offerings on their website and noticed that their 18% layer feed now contains DE, and I think other feeds from them do as well. My last S&P 18% layer feed bag that I got a few weeks ago from my local feed store did not have DE listed in the ingredient...
