I'm going to take advantage of the warm up next week to move my large gangly chicks to coop. They are now 5 weeks....

Scruffy feather stage, how cute. I'm resisting new babies this year. I found it interesting that Orchealons I always spell that wrong has EE's labeled as rainbows.

YOu just spell it right!!! That's where I was last weekend. I stood there watching the kids for awhile as there was a small crowd of them. They were so excited. A couple little girls were telling me all about their plans for their new babies.

Just stopping by to say hello from Gasconade County

Welcome @Rachealx4 .....
This morning we are going to get more feed. I bought a bag of Purina Flock raiser at TSC in Pittsburg, KS, and tho all my chickens of all ages have loved this feed, they are all balking at eating it, both adults and chicks. It is dated Feb 6, so it's not old, but this batch is a darker color. I'll return it and get more at a different store, different batch, different town.

Huh. That is strange

We got back from Race Bros. in Carthage, with the new bag of Flock Raiser, which not only has a different date, but a different plant code. The chicks' bowl was still full of the 'bad' batch of feed, they had barely touched it. I gave them the new and they went crazy eating it. Ditto for the adults. I started a thread about the issue, and I hope Purina responds. I also sent them a message via their website.

I think I've seen a thread on here about Purina and a bad bag of feed they wouldn't eat... I get all flock from Orschelns so far never a problem.

Do you know what is the protein content of that All flock? Orschelns is a lot closer....we have one in our closest town of Lamar.
