I LOVE happy cows!!! It's really nice that you can get into the ranching business because of access to your in-laws property. That's how it's done, I understand.

Wow!! Your state is really reopening. A dentist appointment wouldn't be available with mine unless we had an emergency.

Its a blessing for sure. Its really nice we can do it as a family. Not sure what I would do if we didn't have cows! They are so fun to have around.

I know its really opened up Bars, restaurants, hair salons, doctors offices, retail shopping etc. Most things are opened now with social distancing guidelines and/or limited capacity. Starting June 1st, the 14 day travel quarantine will be lifted and bars/retaurants can move to 75% capacity. I'm grateful we have done well in MT to be able to do this!

Good morning, everyone!

Chicks are coming this week and I was wanting to start them on medicated starter. If any of you feed medicated chick starter, how long do you usually keep them on it? Could I feed it until the bag runs out then switch to a non-medicated starter? New chicken mom already stressing out

Good morning, Rei. I keep my chicks on the med starter until I run out, like you suggest. However, I never have more than 3 chicks at a time. The chick feed does not last, so I use it up. If I were going by weeks, I'd go about 6 weeks, then switch them to all flock, which is what all my chickens eat.

So exciting to be getting chicks this week! How many are you getting? What breeds?

Well, it has worked for me for 4 years. I don't think I could handle watching one of my chicks go through Mareks, and I don't know how to vaccinate. I have never had Mareks in any of my chickens ever.

So, that's my 2 cents worth, but I'll give it away for free.
