Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

X2 I'm still fighting the feed battle, but pay around $13 for 50 pounds of non-GMO feed. And I go through a bag a day.

A whole 50 lb bag??

Being nuts is the number one requirement of mine, if you are not nuts then I probably won't like you.

Normal people are boring!!! Trying to keep up with Jones’s is the biggest turn off for me. Let’s get real and tell me how your life really is, then we can move to step 2.

Here are the feed charts. I have the turkey as well, but haven't turned them into images.

"Normal People" all depends on definition... Those who consider themselves normal think we're nuts... Actually, I think we're normal and they are the crazies.

ETA: I mean really, who doesn't play with their chickens and love chicken TV?

Yup, one ton lasts 40 days. And still no eggs

I think you must be doing something wrong

I think you must be doing something wrong

10 Adult hens, 20 adult ducks. 130+ teens and pre-teens. 50 or so young turkeys. Girls quit laying when I ran out of my custom blend of feed and had to move to tucker for a while, now using another blend (not happy with it) waiting for the guy to finish ginning cotton so he'll fix the roaster and start making my custom blend. Co-op new management decided that it was too much of a pain to make my feed and after all they're just chickens...

You have to remember....I only have 9 chickens and 6 of them are bantams.
