I'm not too sure about Fitbit groups but if you PM me your email address I can add you to the group and we can get to stepping..tomorrow.

Joined the group. You can guess who I am?!

And I am definitely nuts... DH says so ALL THE TIME cause I stay married to his ass.... not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

I was thinking MyFitness Pal instead of Fitbit. I really need a good nights sleep.

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...

O.M.G. That's a ridic amount of birds! How do you keep up with all the poop??!! Do you do the bird thang for a living?

They all move. One day I hope to at least cover the cost of feed.

So are you saying that what I am giving them is good or bad? I'm so confused.... I am blonde after all

Blond here too, just thought a photo of good treats would add some fun! Sounds like your chickens get care as good as any parrots!

A whole 50 lb bag??

My thoughts exactly!

This guy is nuts...this coop is going to be the cutest thing.

Had me at "silkies, Dr seuss"

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

You are making me feel better. 13 girls and getting 3 eggs most days.
(That's out of 6 pullets who aren't molting.)

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

With chicken math that's -15!

50 Turkeys! Thanksgiving? Pretty soon your feed bill sounds like it will be smaller!
