I'm afraid to go outside. Just looked out the window and noticed the main coop door is wide open... Did I forget to close it ? Yikes! Wish me luck

Scary, hope everything is okay

Jason, I haven't tried it with the chickens, but all of our young waterfowl eat a mixture of turkey/game bird and chick start mixed half and half, along with chopped greens.

How many bags of feed do you usually buy at a time? Rich said Nutrena would deliver with a 5 pallet min. We could do one pallet, Linda said she would buy 3-4 bags. It doesn't have to be all poultry feed, but if we could account for close to 2 pallets per delivery, maybe he could get it in for us. A pallet would last us about 3.5 weeks, maybe 4 if I continue to cut down on the boys and slow down on the hatching.

I did when my Cornish x were little. I mixed game bird feed (28%), with flock raiser (20%)

Help! Is my RIR a roo?? I hatched IT in March & today it was making some funky noises. ????


Here is Dusty... I have one RIR hen & Dusty was looking a lot like her so I thought it was a hen, but today it was making some weird crowish sounds... Dusty is quite a bit taller than his/her sister that hatched at the same time.

I mix flock raiser with layer. I ferment my feed and add scratch and a bunch of other stuff too. When I tried using the gamebird starter/grower they didn't like it as much and left the "brown" stuff in the bottom of the feed trough. After that bag is gone I am going back to the Flock Raiser.

Pen him up and feed him organic corn scratch soaked it Milk for 2 weeks.

That is if you want to process him. If not, there will be another animal exchange in OrangeVale soon.
