My first thought was to say when it rains it pours, but given your recent situation that might not be very funny.

it's pouring rain right now.. no kidding.. lol

Guys can I just feed grower or do I have to have starter?

I feed something that Southern States calls Flock Balancer 20% Booster to my older birds. I've always fed starter to chicks, until this last bunch of 4. The Flock Balancer is 20% protein, so I decided to try it. I put it in the blender for a week, then fed it as it comes from the bag. No problems of any kind.
Bag tag says "A complete feed for growing and mature poultry and waterfowl"

Today is 21 on this batch.. In the past.. yes

"Issues" is a song.
I have not yet had a chick born with special needs. They might be slow to get to their feet if shrink wrapped though.
Sorry about the piglet.

Southern States has a silo operation kinda near us. When we buy in bulk, that is where we go. Good products

It's good that it is ringing a lot, even if it is illiterate people. Gotta have cool head to push the product.

Well I definitely get my sewing machine tomorrow. Getting a Singer 1507 for only $104, not bad I'd say!

My mom needs to get a new one herself, at the price it would take to repair hers and do needed maintenance it just would be more cost effective to spend the cash on a new machine. Hers is a Singer model from the 90s so she'd love to get an upgraded one with a zipper foot included! I grew up with a toy Singer to learn and play on, so this would be my first real machine.
