    soft shell / no shell eggs?

    Just started with one of my hens yesterday; today is the 2nd day in a row with no shell. like lots of other people have said, she has access to oyster shell when she wants it. I was mixing it in the feed, then stopped. today I mixed some back in; we'll see what happens but it's stressing me out!

    Outside Kutztown. If you're headed Rt 222 South towards Reading, it's right where the bypass begins and 222 goes from 2 lanes to 4 lanes. There's also a little podunk diner there too. Or I can just give you their web link? http://kutztownhomeandfarm.com

    Very nice! And $12 seems like a steal??? Included in my Spring chick order are 2 Silver Laced; can't wait. We saw some really nice ones (Gold and Silver) at the Farm Show a few weeks ago.

    GMF's - I believe they're referencing Genetically Modified Foods? Also known as GMO's. That's a guess; correct me if I'm wrong.

    With our first batch of chicks last year, we fed them medicated; this April when I get more chicks I'm going the unmedicated route too. I too want them as natural as possible; I also feed my hens organic feed from the local Agway.

    Welcome aboard; I'm from Lehigh Co. so right next door. I had 2 Buff Orpington's till a hawk just killed them recently; great chickens. I'm getting 2 more to replace them, but not till April. I'll keep you in mind if I run into anyone local who might have eggs available.

    Yes, their catalog says minimum 15, but I've been told they will ship less than that. There may be a nominal fee because you're ordering less than the 15 stated. When you order through them, you have to call them since they don't do online ordering. What is the poultry congress? Sorry, I'm...

    I bought chicks from My Pet Chicken last year; all chicks were healthy and we had no issues with our order. If I had one complaint, I think the shipping cost is too much; you pay more for shipping than you do the chicks themselves. I was at the PA Farm Show last week and I met a representative...

    How to deter hawks?

    Hopefully that's true; when we found the hens they were pretty torn to shreds. Not a great thing for the kids to see.
