I ordered 2 XL heating pads to have along with my regular sized one! I'm getting 25 CXs the end of March, so my regular one just wouldn't do. I also hope to get some ducks, a couple of turkeys, and more hens. Hopefully not all at once!
I ordered 25 meat chicks today to be delivered in late March! This my first attempt at meat chickens, but I'll definitely be using MHP! I raised 4 BOs last spring, my first chickens, and didn't lose a single one!
Hey MHPers! I'm looking for a sanity check. I'm considering ordering a "homestead mix" offered by a mail order hatchery: 10 chicks, 2 ducks, 2 geese, and 2 turkeys. I'd like to use MHP, but I seriously doubt I can use only one. Maybe the chicks in one, the ducks and geese in another, and the...

You can try storing the seeds you bought this year and they may still be viable next year. It's work for me with herb seeds. I put them all in a plastic bag and shove them in the freezer. Hopefully your memory is better than mine, and you'll remember them next spring!
And so many people don't understand why I'm nuts about animals! Not only are they cute as babies (like most babies), but they appreciate what you do for them, and it's so rewarding watching the evolve and grow under your care.
