Cinnamon is beautiful. Lots of spunk too. Blue eggs sound fun.
Socks and sandals? Even I do that
. Dark socks and dark sandals. I get hot feet. Flip flops though that's different lol
Processing beverage has alcohol in it except holms. Beef is the dish of choice. Even Jessica has no idea how many chickens she has. The video of them coming out of the trailer was very impressive!
You're not doing bad on the questions. You are scoring high on the ones you got, Flip flops and socks are a formal wear.
I went and got my feed for my CX's today. I hate to argue with the feed store guy. I asked what the lowest protein content starter/grower he had was.
He told me 15%, then asked if that was for broilers. When I told him they were for CX's he went apepoop on me ( whew Just missed another warning letter there, I almost said the bad word).
He told me you can't raise CX's on 15% protein. I told him I can and I have.
He told me it would cause leg problems.
I told him "No actually it prevents them".
Then I told him I just lost my 11 month old rooster last Sunday and I had lots of babies from him. I had to explain withholding feed and free ranging of the CX's.
I told him I process them at 13 weeks, and get 8-13 lbs dressed. birds. I think he thought I was lying.
Anyways I got my first batch of feed. 22% for first few days just to give them a start.
Then 18% for 2 bags then to the 15% for the rest the time.
I do not think 50 pounds of 22% is going to last 70 birds more than 3 days. If it does I will dilute it down.
It looks like camp day will be about October 7th. I am going to try and keep a better track on the feed costs.
I also picked up enough lumber to make a 16x8 ft run to put on the other side of the brooder. I will have 2 4x4 brooders connect with a light in each and 2 runs of 16x8 to get them ready for free ranging. I hope to have them outside on the 17th and free ranging some by the 25th.
Full free ranging will be a week later. I will pick out those that avoid camp later.
