We are near the Wichita area, and have been looking into feed mills around us for some cost savings in our feed. Is there anyone in the area who has a feed mill they would recommend? Thanks!

I'd recommend contacting all of the local coops and see if they will custom mix feed for you. I have mine milled and have the grains cracked or crimped. I have a supplement added that provides additional, protein, vitamins etc. A good coop usually has an employee who has a good knowledge of how to mix to a certain protein level etc. The problem is that some coops have a minimum amount that they will mix for you. I believe @Trish44
was having some custom feed made. I'm not sure is she still is. She could probably give you an idea where you might go.
Congrats on the chicks @blessedmama .Just got my chicks in the mail this morning. They are running around happily but then a few will stop and do this under the lamp. Too cool? They are indoors.
Hello all,
I noticed today for the second or third day that my Leghorn has her front wet and a bit stained (about an inch and a half strip) from wattles all down her breast. I didn't think anything of it until I saw it again today. I managed to pick her up and tried to see where it could have been coming from nasal openings or beak, nose was dry and didn't appear to have congestion or mucous or anything. Couldn't really tell about the beak. No smells or discharge. Her crop was full. I honestly am not sure how it was this morning. The only thing my beginner chicken keeper knowledge can come up with is a problem with her crop? Or perhaps it is nothing. Just sloppy drinking? but have never noticed it before. Her bottom is always a bit dirty and seemed the same. Egg laying not changed. Any ideas? should I be thinking of anything or checking anything in particular? I may try to photograph her if it's not pouring rain.
Thanks
I think I need to change the name, of my place. I call it Rocky Hill Farm, but since the hill is limestone, and lime dissolves; Floating Valley Farm may be more appropriate. Maybe I should change, from raising poultry, to raising fish. I do hope the ones that wanted rain did get some, because we are getting MORE than we need.
