The new feathers were growing back in the day after I started using nutrena feather fixer. I went back to Higby's and bough a couple more bags on Monday.

Next year I am going to time my hatches better so that I will have some starting to take over at molt.

Quote: If I had more hens and less roosters and ducks I'd probably try it, but I hate to feed a more expensive feed to those that don't need it. Good to know that it works though.

For those in my area, Silva's carries it.

I am so happy!

I am getting closer to getting the Arkansas Blue egg layers going again after they were messed up this year.

This pullet




laid and egg two days in a row. The first one was 48G

Yesterdays egg was even bluer in color.

Cant wait want some of these next year

Quote: Mostly Purina lay pellets, but they also get some scratch, rolled corn, BOSS, TMC Gamebird, oyster shell, turkey starter and alfalfa. My peafowl are picky and won't eat food after it's been out for 48 hours, so I toss what they don't eat to the chickens and ducks. The peafowl and turkeys are fed turkey starter, TMC and oyster shell, nothing else.
