Don't know who the judge is but I ain't gonna go quietly.

You do have some pretty legs. But my breast is better.

Yes! Its hot, Last show it was in the 70s!

70's is great

Are you showing at the state fair?

 

[BullChick]

Awe!!!!
The chicks are cute too. Does the breeder specialize in them?

No, they have a number of breeds. Silkies, White Rocks, SPR and the mutts are the ones I know about currently. Barred Rocks I believe are long gone.

Does anyone recommend a certain type of grower feed for ducks? I have been feeding mine Poulin Grain turkey/gamebird grower finisher b/c that's what my local feed store carries, but I believe my ducks need more niacin. Should I just add niacin to their water and feed them the same thing? The chart and the label on the feed I use don't quite match up, though, so I think I should switch ....
Thank you very much Kathy for the chart and info.!

I admit to being confused. I thought the gamebird was loaded with Niacin. Regardless, I am just using the All Flock Raiser.

I know alot of people use purina flock raiser, but I was reading today about how you shouldn't use feed that is made for lots of types of poultry. Is that right?

Niacin can be added to water. As long as the current feed has sufficient protein levels you could continue feeding the same thing but supplement the niacin. I feed my ducks and chickens Purina Flock Raiser and haven't had any problems.

Me, too! But today, Josephine was limping and Quackers was walking backwards with her head down and acting drowsy.

I'm kinda fond of the black ones.

K, thanks. I only have time released niacin right now, so I crushed it with a mortar and pestle. Can I keep doing this or do I need something else? (Sorry for all the non-chick q's on an incubation thread

)
