You probably mean Osage Beach. They put in a bypass a few years ago and it's really flubbed things up. Wrecks all the time because people turning down the wrong way on a one way because it's so confusing and doesn't makes sense. Guh!
Yeah hope to see you posting in that thread! Glad you...
Hey @Fanci Feathers Marans have you stumbled across the Marans thread? There's tons of really great info and really helpful people there who've given me knowledgeable feedback with my own marans. I've learned a lot. If you get a chance, head on over and read thru. I've read all 450+ pages, it's...
Howdy neighbor! I'm in Camdenton. I go to the MFA in Lebanon regularly to stock up on the egg producer crumble, gamebird feed, and grains. Such amazing prices! Glad to see another BYCer so close to me :)
Hello!
Nice to meet people who live in MO. That's why I love this particular thread. I feel like we're all family [we might actually be!lol].
How long have you owned chickens? What got you started? And do you sell chicks or eggs?
I don't know if anyone is interested but I have a pair of White Bantam Cochins, a pair of Silver Laced Bantam Cochins, a Silver Penciled Bantam Cochin cockerel, and 2 Ayam Cemani Cockerels pet quality. All are 14 weeks old. I live in mid MO in Camdenton.
:]
You are so kind! I will definitely keep you in my phone book :]
I'll send you a text later so you'll have my # too.
I will say it is much easier just buying young pullets. You're right, there's a lot that goes into raising a chicken from an egg to a layer! I started out of the gate with eggs...
Thanks! I'm not in SW Missouri though. I'm in mid mo :p I'm not familiar with that auction house but will be checking to see if they have a website. <3
Well that's good to know!
I've got about 4 extras that I need to get rid of. I don't exactly want to just give them away with all the feed I have in them. I've never sold at Jacobs cave but have bought lots! Lol! When I was a kid I always went with my dad and he'd set up and sell chicks, ducks...
Yeah I always try to go to the Jacobs cave swap everytime they host one. I'm only 20 mins away. Everytime it's go there it's see people selling their extra roos for $1, $.50, or free.
Wondering, does anyone here ever take their birds to auction? I've never attended a livestock auction outside of the single cattle auction I went to about 15 years ago with my grandpa. I put some Bantam Cochins on CL and all my FB pultry sale groups. No takers. I know it sill be better in the...
Ah okay great thanks!
I'm in camdenton. Seems like everyone is either in KC or southern MO. I'm smack dab in the middle so it's not feasible to travel hours away to visit my BYC neighbors with a full time job and 3 children, and and husband.
Why can't anyone live near me?
Hello! Welcome to the thread!
Where is Seligman?
People say no to your eggs? What is WRONG with them. I don't think I could control my eye twitch if someone rejected the sweet love gifts my amazing little layers lay. Especially I'd offered them for FREE!
Lmao
Anyone looking for cockerels? I have an EE cockerel [BCMxTrue Ameraucana], Blue Copper Marans, Black True Ameraucana, Splash Ameraucana which unfortunately is muffless.
Edit to add: they will be 16 weeks old on Tuesday. The EE just started crowing this last week.
I appreciate the info! I might have to take the truck up to JC some day and load up. I'll call aged to get some pricing. I'm pretty sure there's one in Lebanon too. I'll be calling both places because I'm almost right between the two. XD
Good on you for giving it another try! Never thought about putting broth in my feed but that sounds like a good idea. Another thing you can try is top dressing the fermented feed with their dry. A thin layer just enough to hide the ferment underneatg. They'll peck away and get a mouthful of the...
Mine were the same with the feed at first. It about a week for my older birds to accept the new feed. I didn't give in though. Didn't offer anything on the side and didn't feed them scraps or anything else. They would either eat it or go hungry. They're also free ranged so I knew they wouldn't...
I get the MFA brand feed at a local farm store. Not from MFA directly. I did check and found they have an outlet about 45 mins away from me. I plan on calling them Monday to get some pricing info. They have a gamebird starter that has 27% protein that might be useful to add to a cheaper grain...
Hey everyone!
Looking to see where everyone goes to get their feed?
I found a small locally owned feed store that I can get 50# 22% MFA gamebird grower for 11.99 and 50# crimped oats for $11.99. Their 50# 20% MFA egg maker is $10.99. They've got the best prices I've found but I only know of 3...
