Hi, I've run out of chook food, and the feed store is shut till tomorrow, anyone got any suggestion on what to give them

This always happens to me.lol.
I just cook up some porridge with eggs, yoghurt, vegetables or all 3 mixed in with it.

I future maybe keep a bag of cracked corn or scratch spare, then you can mix this in with the porridge.

Well much to by discomfort I have introduced my new Ancona pullets to my flock. I put them in at night as suggested by Satay, they where quite confused and where making some noise, I haven't heard any sneezing...but I am not holding my breathe.

Ash, just candled your eggs pre lock down and it's looking good I think two of the Araucanas may have quit but that's still seventeen going strong
A couple had really huge veins going on. I wish I could've gotten a picture because one had a very clear capital G shape in the vein.

Good news there Pinky. I am putting in an incubator load today.

Hey Apps I love your photos. You should do more of it an less work !

Oh I forgot three things

The girl I was to swap the isa for was not the chook being swapped. It was a roo. Sorry had to pass.

My finches are trying again to nest. Last clutch(5 eggs) started but the 5yo scared her off the nest and they now have 2 (so far) will hatch in two weeks if they stay on the eggs.

And finally yesterday was torrential rain and my girls had a water front view ! Pen and coop underwater thankfully I had raised the coop on Bessemer blocks so the girls stayed dry. The same cant be said for me or hubby who were defending the house from water.

Pinky - grats on the incubation your getting good results so far. Fingers crossed all continues well.
