An article about changing the ordinance in Grand Rapids to allow chickens. Also a poll I thought we could take over and make pro chicken.
Hey guys,
Just figured I would see if anyone wants them, I have some 5-6 week old speckeled sussex roosters that I don't have need or room for. They are starting to peck at each others feathers. If anyone wants them they are free. Thanks.

You should already be able to tell. They start showing subtle differences around 2 weeks old, by 3 weeks those differences are pretty obvious in, I'd say, 99% of cases. Every once in a while one will slip through a late bloomer but by 5-8 weeks even the late bloomers are usually pretty...

Did you try Chelsea's feed mill?
You may want to try Hicks Dairy. http://www.hicksorganicfood.com/
I think a 50# bag is $60. You may have to join the co-op, but on the upside the raw milk is awesome.
I was able to stop by Opa's yesterday with the boys and see all the new digs and check out all of your guys new chicks. As always, Opa was awesome and even sent us home with some "kid sized eggs". The boys enjoyed them for breakfast today. And I got to meet Granny, a great visit. Thanks...
Good morning all, looking forward to a beautiful week, where the kids will be able to get out and play.
I also need to get the bator out and fired up and tuned in, getting eggs from up north and Opa next week. The kids and I are eggcited. (sorry, couldn't help myself)
I think I will try and be there. My brother in law and I are probably going to give it a go again with chickens at his place. He plans on getting some sheep/pigs/goats and penning them in around the chicken run for added protection. Then we just need to repair the net over the top and we...
Cita, prayers to your family that everything is ok after the mishap.
I love using the flossers, my mouth is too small and hands too big to use regular floss.
Have a safe trip Opa, enjoy your family. My current situation has made me cherish any time with my family even more.
Wylie,
Cool chicks, I will have to keep my eyes open for when you are selling them.
If I could be so bold, I would like to ask for some prayers for my grandfathers. One was taken from the hospital to hospice tonight and probably has days to live, so prayers that he has peace and goes...
Anny,
They are in North Branch, but if you check their website they deliver to the East side, Livonia, Ann Arbor, Brighton, maybe a couple more. Check with Jenny, I am not sure if you need to be a leaseholder to buy de. But they are great to work with. And if you haven't looked into raw milk...
To anyone else looking for DE. Hick's Dairy has it. I bought a 50lb bag last year and remember it being very reasonable. Hicks is where I get my raw milk from, mmm tasty. They deliver all over the place. Highly recommend. Best milk you will ever taste too! All organic raw milk. Here is...
Hey all,
Been gone for too long, had our third child and growing the flock took a back seat. Unfortunately this spring we had a problem with predators so I am left with only my 3 at my house in the burbs. Hope next year to reinforce defenses, surround the chicken pen with goats and go from...
Man, I step away for a couple days and there are pages of posts to read. All caught up now.
I have 7 showgirls that I am going to be selling, 8 weeks old. White, black, and brown.
I may also have some giant bbs cochins to sell as well, but only a few.
I am asking $7 a bird, they are 8 weeks...
Opa,
Having met you, I would say you are doing a great job at being the nicest person people can meet. Great philosophy, if only more people would live their lives that way we would have a much better planet.
I think I am going to have to put an incandescant lightbulb in the coop, I had to break up the frozen water this morning.
Don't you know it is warmer than usual, its global warming, hehe. Wait a couple weeks and we will be back in the 50s for a couple days, just long enough for the golf...
Vicki,
Dominica is beautiful. I had the opportunity to stop there on a cruise when I was in high school, by far the most beautiful island on our trip. Your daughter will have so much fun. And good for you in raising a daughter that is willing to devote her time to helping others.
Wynette,
Glad to hear you got a hold of Opa, I called him to talk about something else and mentioned you were looking for him. I just hesitate to give out other people's phone numbers and stuff but glad that it worked out. And you are right, he is a GREAT person. I am glad to have met him...
