Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[Sally Sunshine]

Off topic, but I have to share. I woke up at around 05:00am today and saw our clothes cupboard's door was wide open. I always close it. So, of course I got up and closed it. A few minutes later I heard something and saw the door was swinging open. I though it must be wind then, the window was open. (But there was no wind?) Anyway, I closed it again. Back to bed until about 06:00am, got up went outside, came back in, door's still shut. Went out again at around 07:00, came back and the door's open again? I went to find DH and our friend we're staying with and jokingly asked him if our room is haunted or something. Because in the 5 months we've been using that cupboard this never happened. Went back to the room and the door was... open again! So having had a cup of coffee by then I decided to investigate.

Now you tell me, are these the cutest ghosties you've ever seen or what?



Momma cat moved the kittens from where she gave birth to another spot a few days ago and sometime last night moved them into our clothes cupboard. And NO, they're not staying there!

LOL

My local feed mill will as most, mix whatever I want in a bag of feed, but they are small and limited in grains and stuff, so I have in fact ordered my chick crumbles from a new place that also sells a great dog food in bulk 100lb bags, so the min delivery is 500 lbs, I can easily order that combined dogs and chickens. In the winter the chickens eat like pigs so I will go well over that in delivery.

Nice people at the new place, helpful. They sent me to revivalanimal.com and I love that place too! I had an episode of cocci and the pups got it last litter, I had one chicken death but not sure it was associated, I had let everyone and their families come to see the pups and I shouldn't have until first shots, lesson learned, cocci can be anywhere, what happened last time is a pup got stressed going to new home and was more susceptible to them with all the stress, anyway, they are so awesome in helping with the chickens and the dogs! I feed our Mom Maddy the preventative low dose of cocciguard (Decoquinate) two weeks before birth and then continue and wean pups onto it as well, then send a small bag of the feed home with a pup and have the new family wean them to their puppy food choice. I am already liking the firmer stools and the pups are gaining weight like mad! Mom looks awesome too! I wonder if this is better preventative than amprolium for chickens????

Anyway this is what got me started with the medicated chick crumbles for everyone, the price is awesome and I hope they eat it or else they will starve lol

Just remember my experience this past summer. Add vitamins of some sort to the water so your birds don't have issues with nutrient deficiency. Love your pups too!

In the winter!! Mine eat like pigs now. HAHAHA. The 12 roosters eat a gallon and a half everyday.

Haha! Mine do too. The only thing that helps my food bill is free ranging.

Anyone add this to feed?

Its quite cheap 1.99 for a 4oz pack (Mix packet (4 oz.) in 128 gal water or 500 lb complete feed)

I am getting it, since I had amazing results with the other vits with probotics, it would be awesome to do the entire flock for that price!

I am using it but I use 2 OZ in 500lb as my birds are getting a little grass and what not. For the quail and confined birds I also add 1OZ in 55 gallons of water to top them up.
