$62 for 4, 50 pound bags 16%

I gave $38.15 in April (last ticket I could find quick) for 150 lb of 16% Layer Crumbles from the local feed store chain, which I doubt is in CA. Price has probably gone up by now, but not that much. I knew I didn't want to live in CA; now I know why

That is CRAZY!!!!!! I know this is probably the only route you guys can take though.

And straw hay is $12 a bale. Don't get that very often

well my data ran out on my phone so I have been gone for way too long. I am at my dads cleaning so I get to use his computer! just and update, the chick that hatched did not make it through the night, and I have not had another internal pip. I am on day 23 so I am not holding out much hope.

So sorry, cl. It's not looking good for the others, either. You'll have to recap the process and figure out what went wrong...

I was going to suggest Prozap...

And chick starter is $18 for 50#. Tractor supply has a deal 20 50# bags for 12.99 but I don't want that much in barn at a time. Argh. The 15$ per 50 is the best I can find.

after rereading everything and talking to my friend I am pretty positive that the humidity was to high for our area.

I pay about the same rate (12 - 12.50/bag) when I buy single bags on sale.  

Is that in California

[COLOR=800000]I've never heard that. Why would that be?[/COLOR]
I've never had to treat for lice or mites but have 2 containers of 5% Sevin dust I bought at Lowe's when they were on sale to have on hand just in case I did.
I do use it to dust nooks and crannies when I completely clean out a coop.
Carbaryl, just like all the insecticides in that family, do not have the persistence of chlorinated pesticides. Although toxic to insects, carbaryl is detoxified and eliminated rapidly in vertebrates. It is neither concentrated in fat nor secreted in milk, so is favored for food crops, at least in the US. It is the active ingredient in Carylderm shampoo used to combat head lice until infestation is eliminated.
So of humans can use it for shampoo, why wouldn't one be able to dust their chickens and continue to eat eggs?

I weigh them at roughly those days, give or take. If they're on target at day 7, I'm not too concerned. If not, I weigh more often. The exact day doesn't really matter if using a graph so you can just plot the weight on whatever day you weigh to know if they're losing the correct moisture.

I'm the one who started this controversy earlier; at least today, anyway. I can't vouch for the validity; just passing it along for info. I understand it's not been approved for use on poultry, which reminds me of when Ivermectin wasn't approved for dogs, either...who knows?

It used to be approved for chickens. I think it's only been a few years since they changed their minds.

Probably because of the drought?

The closest feed store to me can't get straw right now because of last year's wet spring but it is normally about $6.50.

Hay is higher. All they have right now is prairie grass hay at $8.50 a bale.

In my mind those are both high. I can't find anyone close with other kinds of hay like orchard grass, timothy or alfalfa.

Florida had record breaking hay production this year

Prices are high still

Folks round here complain about it still, but I wouldn't sell mine for a lot less if I can fetch more elsewhere
