There used to be a Wellness factory in Chelmsford that I would go get open bags cheaper. Then they moved or something.
My danes were 195 and 140 and the Raw ended up being cheaper Read the book, they have it in local Libraries.

HI @chickencheeper Essex is a big area, I am in Bedford near burlington/lexington.

Wow I had no idea there used to be a factory here!

And WOW those are big dogs! I thought Gator was big but small compared to them. Actually that reminds me of when I was watching the national dog show on Thanksgiving and they had the working group on. There was a Dane right next to the Mastiffs. I thought Mastiffs were big dogs but they looked TINY next to this horse! LOL the Dane towered over them.

And thanks, I hadn't realized it could be cheaper. I'll look into it

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. I don't want to derail the topic, but I am looking for someone in western/central Massachusetts who would like to share a baby chick order from My Pet Chicken in spring 2018. I have a a small coop/run and am looking to only add 3 bantam chickens to my existing flock of three. But the minimum for my area is 5 mixed or 6 bantams. Any one interested please let me know. I would be more than happy to deliver their babies to them. Here's a pic of my three girls and their coop.

Hi and Welcome! There is no single "topic" here so ask away I am not interested in splitting an order but Im sure there are other who would be. I mostly buy local now. I had a horrible experience that I wrote about somewhere here on the boards when all 17 of my baby chicks died when a big chicken place decided it was ok to ship my chicks right before a huge blizzard was coming even though I asked them to delay shipping. It was horrible. I don't mean to be a downer and many, many people have their chicks shipped with great success. Also I wanted to say you have some pretty girls there

Finally bought the beef yesterday (got the other ingredients a week ago) so I made the satin balls. Though we more made kind of loafs/rolls. We just made a bunch of shapes ha. Took a lot of sandwich bags.

Anyway, he liked the scraps I threw him so I'm thinking he'll like it

It took a lot of meat.

I just bought the rolls at BJ's. 73% lean, 27% fat. It was $12.99 for 5 pounds. I thought it said $11.99 but I must be wrong and $12.99 is still cheap. So yeah. I got 2 rolls so 10 pounds.

Oh and welcome to purpletiger!

Are your current girls bantams? I've read sometimes the smaller, gentler bantams have a hard time integrating with standard size chickens who can pick on or harm them. I would try adding standard size breeds or have a separate bantam coop.

HOWEVER.

Some people have no issues.

But you need a lot of space

And nice coop set up
