There has been some discussion on this thread about animal protein in feed. Laura mentioned that Kent feeds has some animal protein in it. Today I called a feed store that sells Kent. He stated that on the tag a additive is FISH MEAL. So guess where I am going. It will be a bit of a drive but...

I did some weighing again last night. My two Buckeye roosters at 6 months old weighed a little over 8 #'s. I weighed a Braden POL pullet and she weighed 5#'s. In comparison I weighed two Delaware roosters 5.5 months old and they weighed not quite 8 #'s. With boths breeds weighing about the same...

With the talk about weight and etc. I got curious about my two Buckeye roosters so last night I weighed mine. They are good looking boys but have a little bit of black in there hackles. I need to get a picture posted. The biggest one is just a little bit bigger then his brother so I just...

The normal thing for my wife and I to do is set on the deck in the evenings and throw bread to the chickens. They really enjoy that as we do. Last night after the bread feeding my 5 month old Buckeye rooster jumped up on deck's floor and just stood there watching us as if to say thanks for the...

As previously discussed about the feed issue I am going to take Laura's advise on using turkey starter on my chicks that are coming this weekend(Delawares). I called the local feed store and they have some. Its 24% protein and it cost $13.50 for 50#. I have a few Del's now and adding to them. So...

I raised my Buckeyes on Tractor Supply's 24 percent chick starter until they matured and they did really well. They are big strong birds at 7 months old. I think I am going to buy that and feed that to my whole flock, layers included. They are on free range and I give just a little bit of...
