That looks like a treat buffet! If it smells as good as it looks, I would really have a hard time keeping my 3 yr old son out of it.

SNOW!! ACK!

We didn't get any...yet. I don't want it.

The feed LOOKS pricey, but it's not. And it's WAY better than normal scratch. The 'scratch' part of it is 14% protein, and the UltraKibble brings it up to nearly 18%. It comes out to $23 a 50# bag, but a 50# bag lasts nearly twice as long, so it ends up cheaper. Funny thing is, they get up later and go to bed earlier, because they are satiated and aren't looking for food constantly. It's a huge win, in my book.

Mileage may vary, of course...I do look forward to hearing how it works for other folks. I know many have used it with scratch on their own. I've been told I might cut down on the different peas in the recipe to lower the phytoestrogen content, and I think I'll raise the flax and buckwheat; possibly the wheat a bit. I might also go for more sesame and safflower. They love the quinoa! That gets picked out first! The peanuts, too- gone in a flash.

Mike,

The postman just dropped off your eggs. You did a great job packing them! All of them were in perfect condition! They are sitting on the counter warming up.

Thanks again,

I picked up some eggs up from Mike late Tuesday afternoon. His Wellsummer eggs are beautiful, very nice color.

Thanks for the feed back from both of you. I am glad the mail made in good time and none were broken. I wish you both success in hatching. I will go out now and tell "GQ" the roo and his 4 girls that some of their kids will go into the future. (the goal of every gene pool)

What color of eggs do welsummer's lay. I am looking for some green egg layers and Dark chocolate brown egg layers just a few of each does anyone have any chicks available I do not have an incubator or a broody right now. I am not looking to breed just for eggs so if someone has a breeding program and has some pullets that they are going to cull from breeding stock those would work also thanks to anyone that can help

By the way if either of the two of you have a digital camera and could take a pic of those eggs I would love a copy. Renee suggested I sell some of my welsumer eggs on one. I would love to have a pic I could post on craigs list. They are very dark and continue to be very dark into the laying period. The eggs you have are from girls that started more than 6 months ago.
So if you have a cameria would love the help!
Mike

You should check with RevolutionMama- she has some hatchery Easter Egger pullets she was going to use for eating eggs to sell, but the kids are bailing on helping her with the project, so I think she may want to get rid of them. She had a bunch.

I think they're 8 wks old and started, if that helps.
