I love Premier1! I don't often buy small items from them because of the shipping costs, but I definitely use them for big items. I just bought some electric fencing from them and other related items---not for the chickens though. We're getting guinea hogs in June. Yikes!!! The workers are...

I will have to talk to my local stores and see why they are out of my flock-raiser (and don't carry any other kind of feed with higher protein, lower calcium). I have just been assuming they will restock and it's been about a month, and they haven't. There does seem to be plenty of layer feed at...

Ughh, I am worried about that also. The flock raiser I like to give my hens has already gotten harder to find, though so far I haven't seen them running low on chick or layer feed. I have about two bags of extra layer feed for emergencies, but I am trying not to hoard because I don't want to add...

Mine has a lot of clay too, unfortunately. The kiddos will love it if they get to dig in the yard. maybe I'll put them to work, hah!

Thanks! I think I have a metal colander with extra small holes somewhere (my husband hated it and might have tried to make it disappear). I will see if I can recover it. I'm not sure if my dirt will work, but I can try. We have a gravel driveway...maybe there's some finer stuff mixed in with...

I know, weird times. I had to drive about 20 miles away to the next town to get the Flock Raiser feed that I give to my older birds. My Tractor Supply has been out of it for weeks. All I can find locally is layer feed (and chick feed). At least they still have that! :-/

Thanks for the idea. That is definitely a possibility. We have tons of ant hills in the pasture and the backyard, ughh. Huge ant cities. My four-year-old has been after me to get rid of them. Got into a nest hidden in bricks when I was putting up a small garden fence the other day. Ouch! I might...

The local feed stores are out of chick grit. Does anyone have any DIY versions they recommend? I want to start offering my chicks small amounts of food other than their feed. I have some un-opened bags of playground sand that we haven't needed for my kids' sandbox....would that be too fine...
