Talked to someone about feed... their cat & dog food is... blech... but their feed is very good... I also noticed less flies are attracted to it too...

Purina has pretty good livestock feed. I've have some issues with some of their horse feed. The dog and cat food leaves something to be desired.

@BriardChickens, I can not find anyone in Canada selling purina.

Probably for a reason. But then lots of other garbage dog food is available.

My dog gets west coast canine life. I know the person that came up with the formulas (she actually just got an honorary doctor from the university of Guelph) as well as the lady who makes it. I have never seen anyone pit this much effort into finding the right quality of ingredients. Amazing!!

Well, I sexed my 2 oldest quail. It appears to be 1 male, 1 female. :-D the female is quite large, could barely hold her with one hand.

The tr hatch has also started. One out so far and a loud chirper!hopefully more will follow over night

Wow! Your bed has really grown. It seems just yesterday you were constructing it....

Y'all with the quail sexing.... There was a lot of low-hanging fruit comments about one-handedness and filming quail bits. I sat on my hands lest I get slapped again for mentioning the "P" four-letter word.

The flick was interesting, though. Made my DH squirm.

Purina always amazes. Any kind of animal and they've made a Chow for it. Trout Chow anyone? Seriously, they have it.

Do I really have to keep a brooder light on these 11-12 or so day old chicks? Therm says 80 in here 70 outside. I am so going to invest in that expensive plate thingy bama swears by. These 'things' are so noisy all night long. I don't dare put them in the garage like I did the silkies because you never know how hot it might get in there right now. I have the light, and I use the red one, off right now, they're quiet. I will turn it back on before I bed down, and they will be beating on the darn boxes like they are frilling insane!

Idk, but it's pretty warm... I use a dimmer switch on mine, turn it down at night and they sleep good...
