News on the feed. I found out Phillips carries tucker mills. 16% 50lb bags at 13.50 / 22% 50 lb at 14.00. I picked up the 22% complete ration mini pellets. They are very close to me and I was in need of some food. They are going to get me a price for their turkey feed.

glad i could help neighbor

I've been there twice before and asked for the cheapest feed.

I spoke to the lady and a elder this time. They let me know that they carried cheaper/better brand.

Purina game chow 22.50 Tucker's est. 13, nut/purina etc 18.99 tucker layer 13.50-14. They haggle with pricing sometimes as well. If I can get them to match others prices of 12.xx then they would be the closest option. Thanks

No prob. I was born in the mobile infirmary. Most of my family lives in mobile co. Im headed down to dauphin island the weekend of aug 22. If u want some fertile brahma eggs, i could bring u a few. It wont cost u anything. Im getting 6 eggs a day and we eat about 8 a week

I will say the culled roos they sent me did grow toe deformities(crooked toes). None of my other birds have had these issues pop up. The other ones I've had were on 24% starter. I've read up some reasons. It seems the most inclined is poor genetics.

Crooked toes can be a sign of vitamin deficiency.

Yes it can be, but I was giving them supplements via water. Also polyvisol at times. The feed also was supposed to be full of vitamins. I believe I covered that base.

Yup, probably genetics then. I have a hatchery white rock with crooked toes too.

That's a bit of road to cover isn't it? I don't have a incubator yet. I have some hens that are supposed to be inclined to be broody when they get older. If that was directed at me.

 

[bamadude]

Its a few hours but we already have the condo rented. We are passing through mobile anyway. Just being neighborly

 

[ThaSilverShadow]

Oh I appreciate it and I'd think brahmas are pretty. I might can find a incubator before you come down. If you get a lull we can always grab a cold one.

 

[bamadude]

Sounds good. Just let me know. I like to keep a cold 1 at all times
