    1 Month No Eggs!!!

    wombat and Kittymomma, Thank you both for your replies. It has been 4 to 6 weeks for most of them since they began their molt. Most of them look great with their nice, new, full feathered look, but I guess I need to give them a little more time to recover. I feed them 20% protein layer feed...

    1 Month No Eggs!!!

    I've got 15 hens (about 18 months old) and have not gotten an egg for a month! They were giving me about a dozen eggs a day up until a month and half or two ago and they sloooowly started slowing down. They did start molting so I thought no big deal they'll pick up again in a few weeks. That...

    Mash or Pellets

    I don't use either, I like using crumbles. My chickens have always done great on it. I have it in a hanging feeder and the only time that I see any wasted at all is when I spill it myself.

    Pentagon to Detail 20,000 Troops Inside the United States

    Has anyone else seen or heard about this??? For the most part no one in the media is covering it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/30/AR2008113002217_pf.html It is not the Federal Governments job to perform policing inside the US. That is why we have the National...

    Mystery Death

    I wondered if it could be a heart attack. She was struck down in the prime of her life! I hope that the rest of them fair better than she did.

    Mystery Death

    I got up this morning and went to feed/water and check on my chickens to find one of my hens dead! Last night (only about 12 hours earlier) when I went out to them everyone appeared to be doing well. I always spend a lot of time with them just looking and watching when I feed and gather eggs...

    2009 Photo Calendars for Sale

    I just wanted to say thanks to any BYC'ers that may have ordered one of my calendars. Out of the batch of 50 that I have, they are almost all spoken for. I only have 12 left! If you were thinking about ordering one, you may want to do it now before they are gone as I don't know if I will be...

    NAIS/Premise ID and buying from hatcheries

    Quote: I still worry about it a little bit. Since when did something being unconstitutional stop the government from implementing or forcing it through anyway?

    A good rub for roasted chicken?

    The best I have found is from Costco. It is their own store brand and is a Mesquite Barbecue dry rub. It has a ton of different seasoning and spices in it. I rub the chicken down in EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and then sprinkle this stuff on (quite generously I might add). I cook it on the...

    Laying mash vs 20% grower?

    I'm feeding my hens layer crumbles (Nutrena) that have 20% protein. My local feed store has layer crumbles and pellets in both 16% and 20% protein and the difference in price is maybe $0.50 between the two. I think that the higher protein is better. Mine free range a little bit, but I feel...

    Fall's here..........

    I know that it is here, but I refuse to accept it! I love fall, but my garden is actually still growing and producing and I don't want summer to end just yet. I think it's a losing battle.

    What do you feed your meatbirds?

    MCMURRAY

    I ordered from McMurray this year and had no problems at all. I ordered 26, received 27 all of them were very healthy and and have been thriving. I think that they do a good job and I would order from them again.
