    ISO RIR from Pickens stock

    The nicest & best looking RIR’s we ever had came from Mrs. Rosalyn at Lucky Pickens farm. My understanding is she sold her flock. I only have two old roosters and one old hen too old to lay left. I was hoping someone that had some that came from her might have some hatching eggs to mail or...

    Any advice??

    I always hatch a chick or pick one up at the feedstore b/c the turkeys will watch the chick eating and follow suit. It saves me lots of time trying to teach them to drink and eat.

    We sent a few of our extra roos to camp this week. We were impressed with how heavy/big they were! We get way more roos than hens hatch.

    Bourbon reds getting sick

    One or two of my hens is laying an egg with the specks. I don't bother to pick it out. Should I? It isn't dirt & it doesn't affect the taste so I don't.

    Clicking on email noticifications goes to front of thread not new posts?

    When subscribe to a post and receive an email notification, in the past a click would lead to the first post since I last visited. Now it is going to the 1st post in the thread, not to page 60 etc. How do I fix that?

    Peanut Bran - Ok for my chickens?

    It isn't "feed" as in commercial feed. It was all grown locally and has had nothing added to it. I may try some as scratch, thank you!

    Peanut Bran - Ok for my chickens?

    I have the chance to get some peanut bran super cheap - like $3.50 a bag cheap. It is rice bran and peanut pieces mixed together. It is being sold as deer feed here. Peanut bits/pieces/leavings mixed with rice bran. Sure beats the $16 a bag I am paying for layer feed if it is ok.

    Chickens: Chicken Stock

    The best part of stock for me is that it is such a valuable & versatile pantry staple yet it is made using my kitchen scraps & meat we would otherwise discard.

    About egg production - mine take forever and a day to start laying, but once they do I am getting 4-5 eggs a week per bird.
