Farm chatter

Lol! Yeah. I hope they hurry and finish up, we had to buy eggs yesterday.

Ooh, blue does make it better. I love blue eggs.

Yes I’ve had to buy eggs for a while to. Slackers they are, but I’m excited. Hopefully I’ll have some more colors in the nest boxes when I get home

I stopped getting notifications too!
I have a bit of an issue.....how do you politely offer criticism on somebody's chicken setup?
I was at the farm again today and one of the chickens with the feather loss issues was eating feathers off the ground...I suspect for extra protein. This is what caused the impacted crop in Coco (who still isn't back in the coop), and I think that it will be an ongoing problem if something isn't done to correct it. I suspect that the issue may be the feed- it is not a pellet or crumble feed, but it looks like a mixed grain feed (not a scratch mix, just something where all the ingredients aren't smashed together) and I think that they may not be getting enough protein and are picking out only the stuff they like. I'm going to bring some stuff to supplement protein (mealworms, scrambled egg, cat food) tomorrow. How do I bring this up to the people in charge without seeming like a wiseass that's telling them how to run their farm?

This weird thing happened to me todayView attachment 2421570

Huh! I've never had that happen to me.

Here's today's basket if anyone wants to guess.

One egg wasn't included in the basket cuz it was laid a few minutes after I made my egg round.

@black_cat Maybe start by talking about Coco, and the reason why she got the impacted crop. Bring up that feather eating can show that they need some more protein, and ask about feed that way?
