Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

Not a Michigan resident, but I’m visiting in three weeks.
My hubby and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary.
Our honeymoon was spent in Mackinac and we are going back there to celebrate. Long drive but worth it.
Not been there since the honeymoon, so we’re excited!
Such a beautiful area!!

Those are some beautiful yolks!
What feed are feeding them? Just curious, because one time I switched my flock of hens and roos to all-flock after reading the harm the extra calcium can do that's in the feed. I was providing crushed oyster shells on the side, but one of my girls was not eating them so she got a prolapsed vent. It was a pain to deal with and we tried everything until we gave up and took her to the vet to put the stitch in her vent. The vet had said that it was because of us switching the feed and she just wasn't getting enough calcium from the all-flock. We put them back on layer feed after that, and we have not had any egg problems ever since, knock on wood....
It might also just be that since your girl is a new layer, that was just a dud.

They are getting the all flock from kalmbach. I have some younger chicks and a rooster also.

Welcome to the Michigan thread, @BoundlessLove

We have been having a very cool summer, make sure you pack a jacket or warm sweatshirt. Unless you want to pay Fudgie prices for one!

And down here it's been too hot!!!
Going up north sounds like a really good idea...

Thank you so much for letting me know. It’s been steamy here in the south. Lots of rain.
Looking forward to the cooler temps.
