Hello everyone!
I wanted desperately to feed nonGMO feed, and found a local supplier. Unfortunately, it is a finely ground mash. My chicks aren't eating nearly as much as my previous chicks ate crumble, and it doesn't fall through the feeders as well, either, so I have to go out several times...
Hello!
I just bought an entire flock of Sulmtalers, all of Greenfire Farms lineage. I'd like to find a cock or cockerel who is of breeding age that is from a different lineage, such as Widget Creek, to get some genetic diversity.

I'm new to breeding but not new to chickens in general. I bought some Lavender Ameraucana eggs from Diane (faykoko) and I got a good hatch last Thursday/Friday. They are beautiful so far. I just read in the above posts that Marans were crossed with the Ameraucanas to get this color? So...
