Granny's gone and done it again

I agree with that Banty. How much does it cost in food alone to raise them to POL not counting labor? Mine really go through the food. even $25. is less then what we have in them.

well Beth's muzzle looks better this am . Think I will wait until Friday before possibly making an appointment at the vets.

I meant to ask, do you think they were fighting each other ?

 

[BantyChooks]

wow. Is feed cheap? 10 month pullet here is $20 for common breeds.

No way. I buy the cheapest stuff I can find and it's still over $10. If I fed them all flock, it would be about 16-18 a bag. I can't afford that.

$10 here. price of food is the same everywhere I think.

I don't know, and I don't want to, or I might downsize. 45 birds go through about 75 lbs of food per week, and most of them aren't full grown yet.

since I stopped the corn the flock raiser is really breaking me. 7 bags this month I cant keep doing that. If I didnt have babies I would switch to layer.

You mean Beth and Yuri ?? NO some type of wild animal Just can't think of what type. Other then not a snapping turtle , I think coyote would have left bigger punctures and on more then just the muzzle. Skunk , she should smell.

So I am sort of left with weasel, muskrat, coon or fox.

I feed my birds layer after they're feathered out. I know, I know, you're not supposed to---but I don't have sudden deaths in my birds so I don't care what they say about it.

Same here they go from grower - to grower and oats - and then to layer and oats.
