CX dying like flies

[Compost King]

A toad is a very rare breed of chicken created by a BYC member and still be perfected by him and others he sent birds and hatching eggs too. Its a cross between a CX and one of the Free Ranging Meat Hybrids. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/toad-raising.1152440/ This is the thread on Toads and its a good read. @duluthralphie hosts the thread and he is actually a bit comical so its fun to read as well as informative about creating a meat breed.

One of the issues I have with low calcium and low protein feed is that it's hard to get both, from my supplier the only low protein feeds are egg laying feeds. I do wish someone other than Dumor would make a 15% protein feed without calcium in it... if I shop around I might find it.

If you are still getting feed at Southern States, check out their Poultry Maintainer. I believe that is lower protein and calcium.

Thanks Geena I will look for that. Hopefully the 2 Southern States suppliers near me have that. This is why I love BYC, people step up and help folks out.
