Actually, Chris McCary is the best one to address the feed issue, not me. I used to use Kent feeds until they stopped being sold locally. Now I'm using a local brand which won't be of much use to post about as it isn't carried nationally.
Chris, thoughts?
Hey Brice,They are from feed store lines..I don't actually know but I am trying to find out. I just happened upon them at the feed store last year and the young man informed me that a breeder had brought the pair in earlier in the day. I've asked him to inquire about lines the next time the man comes in, but not sure that's going to actually happen. I tried to get the hen up, but she was so interested in the camera I couldn't get a good shot. I'll try again today. Thanks!
I like her! I wish we could figure out who's lines she's from, and how she wound up at a feed store! Ah well, it's good they wound up with you, it looks like you got some nice birds.
Nice hen! And I had not read that article on feeding you linked, thanks! Good ideas.
They do love those compost piles don't they. I've placed a few in my enclosed runs and within a day or two they go from piles to well-spread ground cover. Ha ha!Nice hen! And I had not read that article on feeding you linked, thanks! Good ideas.
My chickens often visit the compost pile and hens love to take their chicks to the pile daily. Among other kinds of oaks, I have one very large white oak tree & have thought of getting a food grinder for those. I also use oak leaves as the deep litter in my coops.
