Sorry, I worded that weird. I meant they aren’t charging you double (as in the first that was messed up and then the one that will be coming).
I wasn’t suggesting that you do that, just that I could see that possibility being the reason you weren’t given a discount
They are replacing them for free though right?
At least to me, I can kinda see why they didn’t. You did get over 20 chicks for free and even if you sold them for $1 each, that is still a pretty big discount off of 4 (I am not making that up right?) chicks.
I am obviously biased as I that is...
I started getting mine to use it at 4 weeks old. What I did was I took out there chick waterer and sat down next to it as they liked jumping all over me. Then I started to ‘peck’ at them with my fingers. Then the little droplets of water would sit on that little rim under it and then when they...
My 6 chicks turned 6 weeks old today and just wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts are on their sex. I have 2 brahmas, 2 jerseys giants (only one pictures due to the other looking almost undeniably female), a barred rock, and a buff Orpington. At least to me all are looking like pullets except...
I personally have never seen anything above 24% for meat birds. I am guessing it was for game birds as their feeds seem to range between 26-30% from what I have seen
Definitely be ready! I ordered my chicks from them and they came a day before they were supposed to hatch! They arrived within 10 hours of being shipped and were very healthy. All 6 are still doing amazing at 6 weeks old!
To be fair, I was thinking from the stance of living in PA where it feels like it rains nonstop. I dug a big hole in my backyard that went from 0 water to at least 200-300 gallons of water 3 feet deep in less than 2 days. And I checked on it 3 days after it stopped raining so it could have been...
I would use a 300 gallon stock tank with the drain sealed with aquarium silicone. Dig a hole two feet deeper and a foot wider (so 6 inches all around). Fill the bottom 2 feet with pea gravel but make sure the rim out the stock tank will be about an inch above the ground and level it out. Place...
Might not be the answer you are after but breed what YOU want, not just what is popular. You aren’t going to enjoy it as much and what is popular is constantly changing. That means that when the spotlight changes, you are going to be stuck chickens that aren’t what you want.
Depends.

I am a pretty hard person to deal with in person as if I am not talking about stuff I want to, I am either annoying or I just drift off into the depths of my brain. But I...
