Same here! Birthday weekend, I mean. I have to convince my husband that it's normal (for me) to go to a Chickenstock on my birthday.

And... for anyone who likes King Feeds (www.king-brand.com) & lives or shops in Sonoma County...(more on Vacaville below)
Hal from King Feed; actually L.A.Hearne Feed Co, in King City next to Salinas, that makes King Feeds (for poultry, rattites, goats, sheep, horses etc.), called me & said he's close to getting Western Farm Center ( http://www.westernfarmcenter.com/ ) in Santa Rosa to carry King Feeds

.
I've been driving to San Jose & Brentwood to get it (even once in Norco, when visiting my mom), ever since I discovered it at the Stockton, I mean PPBA, show. They donate all the feed used at the show, and many of the breeders use it. I like it for their mini pellets, that all sizes of bird can eat without wasting. He said it would help if two or three people call Western Farm (707-545-0721) & ask for Lou (one of the partners) and tell him how much of each type we will buy. I'll buy 10 sacks Pro Am Layer Pellets, 2 Show & Grow Pellets, 1 Start & Grow, & 1 goat pellets. Lou specifically told him he needs to know there really are customers here. I have talked to their buyer 'til I was blue in the face, & Lou, who makes those decisions, wasn't informed.

Ok, for Vacaville; apparently there is a store there called Western Ranch supply... (not related to Western Farm in Santa Rosa), who stocks King Feeds, but doesn't advertise them, & wants customers to come in and ask for it (he keeps it in the back). If you're ever there try it out!

Back to the ChickenStock... Hal said he will donate something, and hopefully stop by & answer questions & give us samples.

See you all soon!

eta: King has recently formulated an organic line and a soy free line.

I called Western Farm and told them I would buy King feed if they have it. I use 50-70# a day and have bought my feed from them for 45 years.. It might help.

WOW! 50-70 lbs a day! How many birds do you have?
ALso I just bought some Calls and the breeder said she feeds King Show and Grow. Our local feed store ordered me 2 bags and said they will carry it just for me.

I only have about 400 at the moment, but have had as many as 1500 here. I have a lot of ducks and geese that are like vacuum cleaners at meal time. About half the flock is waterfowl.

I left him a message to call me. didn't see him today when I picked up my 24 sacks. I am pretty sure he will want to carry it if the demand is there. He knows what my usage is...I order over the phone on a special tag.

They order Kings for you? Ohhh, you were saying you feed 50-70# of feed a day, not Kings? If I can special order it I'll just do that.
Thanks
