ALOHA fellow chicken peeps!! i am looking to connect with other chicken peeps here on the BIG island also. i just recently moved to Waimea from honokaa and of course our chickens made the move with us. it has been just over 3 ROUGH weeks since we have been up here. and we have lost 4 chicks and the momma is now sleeping up in a tree since i rescued the last chick from the cat (who is now missing for 2 days and we think he was hit by a car - i have been crying needless to say), and we have been fighting with the MUD in the coop - not fun and now we also have mites - i am in desperate need of some DE or i will soon have to resort to the poison poultry powder they have at the feed store. i saw that there was someone from hilo here... do you know if they carry food grade DE at farm and garden?? really helpful to know before i drive all the way to hilo or kona if i just have to order it online anyway. so good to know there are a few more of us hawaiian chicken farmers here! i will check out your page when i get a chance and all the other hawaiians out there. hope to meet up on BYC with yall soon. mahalo for posts
