Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Happy belated Birthday, Alex!
PS thank you for the rock comments!

Rock comments? That’s just how I roll!

I am surprised there is no game bird feed. Do people not raise game birds?
Edit - looks like you found some. You can mix it with a lower % protein feed to get what you want.

I have, monopoly, game of life, clue, mousetrap. And casino games galore.
No bird games ( game birds )

55 KPH or 63 MPH. That’s the minimum speed I have to run, to get my Marie airborne.
A little aircraft trivia today.

Kinda strange that it only takes one can of corn to get the chooks airborne. They come running, flying, straight at me!

I believe that today was a successful one. I did everything that I needed to do. Did the things that I wanted to do. And only had four telemarketers call me. (Who I messed with)
The chooks are all quiet in the coop (probably stuffed with spaghetti)

I had two or three telemarketers call me! I used your funny little trick. I hung up after I said "Hello, this is SeaWorld, and this call may be recorded for training porpoises. "
I try my best not to laugh!

I want a lower calcium around 1% but a higher protein around 20%.

I bought the Purina Gold'N start & Grow crumbles and it was pure dust, it had the values I wanted (calcium at .85, protein 20%).

I now have the Optical 16% Chick Grower course crumble but the protein is only 16%, calcium is 0.87%.

I do have a high protien supplement here, at 36% protein, but the calcium is 7% so I try not to feed much of it - I add it to the mash.

Guess I will just wait till everyone is laying age and go back to the layer ration, and hope Mr P is ok with that....

I suppose I should worry more about the calcium. Here's the all-flock label

Here's the layer label

I have just been feeding layer. It's practically all you can find around here.

The feeders are too high for the littles to get to for now.

I'd go with the all flocks. The protein difference may not seem much. But it will make a difference and the calcium difference is significant. If you're already doing calcium on the side, then is worth it.

Jaffar is being such a good rooster. I brought him in for a personal breakfast treat. We’re having steak, corn on the cob, and Greek yogurt with blueberries.
Special pets deserve special treatment

Next bag I get I'll make sure. Husband picked up the last one and the owner of the feed store always gives you layer unless you double check and make a fuss. No idea why. Layer is cheaper! You'd think he'd push the other one. Right now the triplets are too little to reach the layer feed.

If you have grasshoppers. Catch with a jar. Collect a bunch (keep adding to a bigger jar). Dump the hoppers in the coop and enjoy the mayhem. The chooks (all of them) will enjoy the extra protein.
