Incubator Check
The eggs are now at day 7 until hatching, and the chicks are taking up quite a bit of space!

I wanna let the chooks out to free range later, I can get some really good pics of them in the grass!

Think about this:

Just with chooks in it!

Hello FBF, I am doing some chicken sitting with a heavy heart, my mama passed on the 7th, she had been ill for some time. I got to travel back to Delaware to see her shortly before and I am grateful for that.

Some pictures of happy chickens pecking around:

No! So sorry for your loss, sending you tons of hugs.

Our only neighbor who lives about two miles away is on his way right now to pick up Gumbo. I have heard roosters crow over at his home, so I’m wondering if I’ll be able to hear Gumbo.

Nope, not two miles. Less than one mile, stupid me. Gumbo is gone, thank goodness. I hope he does well in his new home. I’ve not heard him crow yet.

He's up on the North Sea on an oil platform working. He'll be back soon.

Last winter he was in Fort St John about 2.5hrs from my camp - I would have driven down to say 'hi' but I was leery of driving on the Ice Roads that way, I didn't want to get lost, there is no cell reception out in those places, and being a woman driving alone out there is NOT a safe thing to do - in my opinion.... I tried to sucker one of the guys into driving over there with me but they were 'heck no - we know you you'll be talking all night!'

I thought he was back from that job.

I found a 19% layer at TSC. I'm going to give the ladies a bag's worth, see if that helps Pip. It's fortified with BSFL protein, I think. I got a 10 pound bag to see if they like it, and they do. It's a pelleted feed, not crumble, like the Kalmbach that they usually get, so I wanted to check before I got a big bag.

Ooh! Do tell. What make? The Kalmbach I got is pellets. I have convinced myself there is less waste with pellets.

Here's the nutrition lable:

The 40 pound bag was $27. I pay $21ish for 50 pounds of Kalmbach 20% Flock Maker, so yeah, this is a lot more expensive. I plan to use this to get Pip "over the hump," and then go back to Kalmbach and hope they take the hint with the flaked oyster shell.

That looks great.
Check out the Kalmbach Full Plume - it is layer so has the calcium and 20% protein. But it was more expensive than the Flock Maker I was getting before.
