    Little Mama's babies are hatching

    21 days ago I put 12 eggs under Little Mama (She was my first pullet in my chicken addiction to lay an egg on 11-15-08). She also was the first to turn broody about 4 weeks ago and that is when I decided to give her an award for that egg back in November. Last night around 6PM CST her babies...

    Change in layer feed...

    Sometimes a percent or two change in protein can cause diarrhea. In your case by going up I would probably do as digitS' post and add a little more scratch to compensate for the increase in protein. Happy New Year!

    economic crunch and layoffs

    Beau coop sorry for the news however you did get a notice. You are right with the education system issue. We moved last year from NE Ohio and the teachers were bleeding the taxpayers to death with new levies every other month. When we moved my property taxes were almost 4 thousand a year. My...

I live in central KY and will travel an hour or two to pickup. If you do not have Buff Orps but know of someone who does please give me some contact info...

    Dumor or Blue Seal

    Thanks for the info. I live over toward Etown and will have to do a search for Versailles. I like the idea of fresh ground feed for the chickens. Also I wish I knew about the DE. I ordered a 50lb bag back in the summer and paid almost the same to ship it as it cost.

    Hello from Kentucky

    Mario49 sorry for your loss. I have been fortunate with my order back in May from Cackle. I ordered 15 and they sent 16 in June. All sixteen have made it so far and are doing great. They are maturing as expected at different rates and that is why I am presently getting 6 to 7 eggs a day. Two...

    Dumor or Blue Seal

    I've never tried another brand as I stated in my earlier post however I've not noticed the problems that Andora has had. Could be different management styles?

    yay! i finally have my chicken water heater!

    Congrats:)! I kept putting it off however I now have two heated dog bowls and a bulb type fountain heater in the coop. One of heated dog bowls is for the cats and they appreciate it as much as the chickens do. It almost seems to me that their amount of consumption went up as soon as I put these...
