So I've decided to do something different for my birthday this year. Earlier today I claimed 2 sets of chicks from CPL and 2 lucky swappers are going to get chicks in 2.5 weeks; right around my birthday!! I'm still working on who but CPL will be contacting you eventually!

How sweet of you!!

:
crush them up into a powder and ad to the water, you can keep a milk jug prepped with the water to use for them as ducklings. If you can find a waterfowl starter feed you dont need the added niacin
Thanks!
100mg into a gallon for the little ones or split into two gallons?
Sorry I dont want to hurt them they are so adorable!

Dick Horstman has dark brahmas but they are bantams. I LOVE brahmas! Especially the dark ones. I was thinking about ordering some eggs from him for spring.

I just got my Red Dorkings from him today. Wonderful packing in foam that keeps them upright, and he sent 30 when I ordered 24. Woo Hoo!

Sally, I got a Dark Brahma that trills when you interact with it from sunnysideupmicrofarm. But they don't list them anymore, I wonder if they have any left!

Nevermind, found this on their facebook:

"We will no longer be offering dark brahmas for sale. While we enjoyed this breed immensely we had to clear out some pence for some exciting new breeds - Partridge Rocks, Gold Cuckoo Marans, BBS Americaunas n more!"

They were really nice...

I mix into 1 milk jug, then half fill the ducklings water from the jug and half fresh water
