calling any one from missouri

[spinweaver]

Hello,I'm northwest of the Kansas City metro, near Parkville. My hens are getting too old, so I'm rebuilding my flock. Got 6 EE day olds on the 4th of July, just posted pics to ask for help re gender. Looks like one is a girl, yippee! Also got 4 Barred Rocks by mail from My Pet Chicken last week, they for sure are girls and will begin laying in March. So we'll get eggs again!

I will join the club. Sixteen five and six month old pullets and only one laying just eating

To the lady near KC there is a nice guy in Lamar with a bunch of nice five month old Barred rock pullets for sale.

Welcome to the flock!

Drat, I wish I'd known that a few weeks ago! My coop is only big enough for 6 hens, so I will just have to hang in there and be patient.

I live in Springfield and have been buying my feed lately on Amazon from Scratch N Peck feeds. It's so expensive! Does anyone close know where I can get quality feed lime that locally, online or just less expensive? It runs $70 for a 50# bag and I go thru about 3-4 bags a month!

I live in Joplin, but Gordon's feed stores advertise every year at the Springfield Horse fest as a local family owned feed store. You might start with them. If they might know who does. I would also check the closest MFA as they are great source of MO feeds and ag supplies. I use my local one and I know there is one up there.

Thanks. I'm hoping to find some of the same quality as what I've found on Amazon. It's really great quality, just super expensive.

sorry, I'm in South central MO....I have a bunch of hens almost at POL....don't suppose anyone would be interested?

what breed and where exactly are you?

I live a little north of Springfield. I've got Buffs, Ameraucanas(spelling), California whites and Plymouth Rocks and a mixed rooster. 12 hens, 3chicks and one happy rooster total.
