I know we're getting some 20-degree nights up here in Connecticut how is your egg production going....... I don't ride extra light mine seem to drop about half which is fine by me seeing I have a refrigerator full of about 10 dozen eggs
I've got to have the craziest bunch of hens I've ever had.... I mixed my Blue Seal egg layer pellets with my all flock crumble and the rest of my Blue Seal layer crumble..... I dumped out a big scoop in their tray..... and wouldn't you know it I see them going for the pellets first....... but...
Here's My buff orpington rooster with my little girls...... I've only witnessed him Mount one of them...... but I'm sure he gets the job done the 10 hours I'm not around....... I'm actually starting to get the itch to perhaps incubate some eggs and make my own leghorn Buff orpington cross...
Oh goodness I really hope you don't get fishy eggs...... the thought of those two mixtures is crazy..... I highly hopefully doubt your eggs will taste fishy my fingers toes and eyes are crossed for you lol
..... let us know what happens on this thread that's a good go to for people to discuss...
He sure is a looker I actually just went to go pick up the buff orpington rooster.... I told one of my buddies they had to for free he got one and I got one.... Are you located around Connecticut??
If you're giving off lock and supplementing with oyster shell I believe you're covering all the bases.... Like I said with trial and error I usually feed blue seal layer..... Sometimes I buy a 25lb bag of blue seal off lock and I mix it with a hundred pounds of layer during the seasons when they...
I do agree and everything you said although the smell in the look of the grain to me I didn't like... According to the label the nutrition was there.... But the only thing that turned me off was 3 days in feeding that feed I found lower egg production and their poop was more runny and...
I guess if something is not available regional we can only figure out what's the best possible one for what we have available.... I mean anything blue seal for me has worked and Purina in my experience..... I guess we all have to see what works best but some brands are undeniably made of better...
I'm positive they have layer in pellets, and grower...I'm sure all flock as well , call local Tsc they might be able to order it ... I'll find out from mine... I'm in Connecticut. Maybe blueseals website ... I'll check if they even carry it.... BUT I used the all flock crumble from blue seal
I'm on blue seal because that's all I could find close which is just as good as layena .in my opinion... Layena is like a dollar less at tsc ... So if I can I'll get Layena there next round . :D I hope my ramblings made sence.. lol
Okay so since August I've been doing a trial........ I started with blue seal extra egg layer crumble....which was fantastic the poop was nice and clumpy and didn't smell too bad.... The yolks were a good medium color... I have leghorns so the shells .. white and nice and firm.... Then when I...
If I posted the picture correctly this is the one I'm referring to that my chickens don't like.... The one that I say looks like ground up cardboard and you can't make out any corn or anything in it, it's an overall dark brown color all crumbled up.... And when it gets wet it turned spongy...
Everything is up to snuff with the Nutrena food, it's just their recipe and the way their brand is made, my chickens are starting to eat more of it, but personally I don't like the smell, the looks of it, it's different than any other crumble I've gotten in the past...:confused:....it looks over...
Also I keep forgetting to mention that this home fresh by nutrena layer crumble has an odd odor to it.... It's not expired or even close to it..... I remember it having an odd odor last time as well.. I just keep forgetting to mention it
Ok thanks, I used to use blue seal multi-flock and feed oystershell seperate, it was great , big eggs beautiful feathers, etc ....now that I have egglayers (white leghorns) my focus is on giving them best nutrtion and vitamins to support their heAlth and laying.
