Thanks, momma-hen. Waiting to hear back on approval.

Quote: Certainly! His name is Dr. David McCluggage, and he is located in Longmont, Colorado. You can read more about his practice at his website, www.wellvet.com. He works with small animals, some equine, and also specializes in avian medicine (in fact, he was a nationally recognized expert in...

Quote: I'm talking about both organic and unmedicated. And I'm not using my chickens for meat, they'll just be pets and provide eggs. Nonetheless, I choose not to use medications unless necessary. There are certainly some who have abused the organic labeling, making it difficult both for...

Quote: Similar reasons for making that decision for myself. Luckily by the time we had our child, we'd found our MD and several other health professionals to support us on this route (including no vaccs). I sometimes get frustrated defending our position and often follow a "don't ask, don't...

Thanks for all your time and concern, dlhunicorn. I'm fortunate enough to have an amazing holistic vet for our dogs who also specializes in avian medicine. I was able to speak with him last week about our upcoming chicks/chickens. He agreed with and encouraged my avoidance of the vaccinations...

Quote: Did that a few days ago. Still haven't heard back yet. Will consider that for the future (whey laying), but went ahead and ordered starter and grower from CFS for now. dlhunicorn... Looked into this (feedmill) last week, but I can't find anyone around me using organic grains!!! I've...

Thanks, Jsto. That's definitely what I'm planning on doing further down the road (whey they're laying). I'll need that time to find out who around here carries the organic grains I'll need--not as easy as I'd hoped. BTW, how have others made their own feed in the past in terms of grinding...

Quote: Thanks for the ideas, chickaboo7 and MTchick. Logged onto Peaceful Valley's site (groworganic.com), and it looks like it would be just under $30 to ship. So that route's a bit more expensive than the others (the feed itself is about $14 than other organic feeds). Rest of the site...

EEEKK! Just received my reply from Countryside on the cost of shipping to Colorado. Here it is: 50 lbs. - $32 100 lbs. - $64 200 lbs. - $108 500 lbs. - shipped on a pallet via trucking company at an LTL rate of approximately $135 These prices are JUST shipping, don't include the price of the...

Jsto, FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for posting the price list. I've been waiting to hear from them and decide whether or not to place an order, so you've made this a lot easier for me. For those of you with very small flocks, would a 50# bag of the chick starter be too much for 3 to 4 chicks...

LilyRoseDaisy, could you tell me how much you are paying? I've visited their site, but looks like I'd need to email for a quote. If you have the info (I'm in CO), I'm sure our prices would be similar to ship. Thanks!
