The feedstore on Meridian Rd in Falcon has Agland Poultry feed. It's 50# for $13. Does anyone use this brand? I picked up 2 bags to try it.

I'm pretty sure I've got good karma and some positive juju coming my eay. I'm going to use some of it up willing this bird to be a hen ; )

She look a lot like my EE's and I am fairly sure that they are girls. Her legs are identical Zoe's at that age and even the comb is not enough to worry about yet. She has very pretty color, where did you get her? (I am sure calling it a her makes it so

)

I was just wondering, does anyone here make a living off pasture raised chickens?

My Father-In-Law raised meat birds years ago. Over the summer, I have researched the Colorado Revised Statutes that regulate this type of enterprise and I'm in the process of writing a business plan...

Thanks ColoradoGal
Where can I get vetrx and oxide? I checked a couple of places but no good. Two of three looked better today but the third still has a runny nose and watery eyes. I really wanted to start them on the vetrx, sigh. Hoping it was the hay. I am off tomorrow so hope I can get it first thing.
Thanks. Tracie

How are your birds doing? I have one that just started coughing, no runny nose or watery eyes, yet. She sounds like I do when I have bronchitis! I don't know where to get either VetRX or oxide in Denver. Update on how it works please!

Murdock's carries some stuff.

Murdock's carries some stuff.

I was at Murdoch's in Westminster yesterday and they had a very poor selection of chicken health items. I did not see any Vet RX Poultry. My bird sounds the same today, not worse and still nothing coming from her eyes or nose. Still curious about TracieJS's bird.

So a recap of yesterday's activities. I had the day off so i was busy. Got the trim on and the vents in. got the window and the vents screened. AND.....got all pen #2 birds into their new home! So far so good. They still hang around the old pen, but are starting to ease in to their new surroundings. They seem to like the new digs! I took a photo on my wife's phone, as mine is out of commission for a while, but I don't know how to use an I-phone and download the photos......

On another note, weighed 180 lbs this morning. I hope its quality weight loss and not just water....

Oh ya, and completely cleaned out the large run area. This area is just under 3000 sq ft. It had construction scraps, a table saw, leftover materials, a brooder, a portable pen cage, etc. the place looks MUCH better now.

this morning I put more heavy wire fencing around the bottom outside of the wood fence as anti-coyote and ant-fox measures. Only about 20 yards more to go. the dogs are annoyed by the chickens on the other side of the fence, but things seem to be OK.

Just got home from picking up 9 bales of old nasty hay that our friend's horse wouldn't eat. But the chickens LOVE it! Nice moldy and mildewy hay to scratch through and find bugs!
