I miss Jasper. He was a big cat!

Hey Margie, Do you have a splitter or do you do it the old way? I told husband he should get a splitter but he likes doing it himself, crazy guy!

I bought a splitter a month ago. Actually used the crate it came in to make my nesting boxes.

Good morning everyone! grey and rainy here. But at least it's not snow.

I would check them carefully for parasites, also I would increase their protein level, and I would give them lots of activities to keep them busy so they don't pick on each other.

I read in one of the threads that canned cat food is ok to give them. Is that right? Does pumpkin have much protein? I've dusted them 4x , but perhaps I need to do it again.

Sunny and cold here today. I have to put the heat on.

Canned cat food might have too much mercury in it.
I have given them Natures Domain cat food from Costco. They love it and seem to do well with it

When my oldest daughter got married this year I gained a Grand Son! Still getting used to that idea

Ok Ron. Looking at the pic of you escorting the turkey I thought you were like 30ish. Did you have kids before you were even born?

It is a Gene thing and clean living I suppose! Also I did not go bald or too gray yet.

I am 57! My oldest turns 30 next March sot the 30 part does fit in there.

Pumpkin seeds have good protein content, kale, cottage cheese, tofu and canned catfood is fine for chickens. If you are concerned about mercury stay away from tuna types. I give mine any meat scraps after supper too, cut small.
