EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Your monthly feed bill must rival the national debt!

Only $13.50 per week; actually. I feed everyone layer... All flock is way too expensive.

I've got a video somewhere of the ducks attempting to fly....

Quote: I did, too, 'til someone on here said about layer being bad for roosters over time; shortening their life, if I recall. I've never fed Purina anything, to any of my animals, except maybe once or twice. When I was a Nutrena dealer, I naturally fed Nutrena. Other than that, it's been all Southern States. I feed their answer to Purina's All Flock, but I'd have to dig up a receipt to tell you how much it runs.

I see where another pullet has finally decided to join the egg-laying party today. 'Bout time; they're 7/2 hatches. They free-range almost daily though, so some of them may be laying God-knows-where. They have access to way more ground than I'm going to scour looking for eggs. I've kept them in the run & coop several times, though, and just now's the 1st time I've seen two of their eggs.

I've read that, but I've always fed layer feed to everything old enough to be in with the grown ups with no consequences. My opinion was if extra calcium was really so deadly, why is Emma still going strong at nearly age 8, when she hasn't laid in years? Why ain't I noticed more health problems?

Great! I think Enya mighta joined the layers; not entirely sure. The 4 other EEs are just coming back into lay so I can't recognise everyone's eggs by sight yet.

Jazzy should start laying soon, she's a 6/15 hatch....

A mink? I'll kill it myself, promise. I'll even clean up the blood!

We don't have an abundance of them. You can process a duck though!!

Chrissy just willingly took a bite of crumble!!! Thank you Lord!!
