Well, at fourteen weeks I will know soon if the white and black/grey chicken is a pullet or cock.

No crowing yet from anybody?

i'm very good good friends with a couple that rides Harley's...good people. it's just the bad seeds that give the others a bad rep.

It isn't about riding the Harley's.
These were really good people too. All the while I knew them. It sure went down hill though - guns ablazin'.

I've had 3 other women friends/coworkers that I carpooled with. They were bikers. They always had drama going on.

Two of them had husbands that never had jobs in their lives. They supported their husbands. The real stories are too sordid for public knowledge. One of the women that worked with me supported her husband and his entire family, none of which had jobs. She bought the house. They lived on the first floor. His parents and their other children lived on the second floor. One winter she suggested, "Why don't you make a New Year's resolution and get.."
He cut her off. He said, "Forget it B****, I ain't finding no job. My job's taking care of you".
She said he had never kissed her.
She was pretty, well built, fun to be around, an extremely hard worker and made horrible life choices.
He told her on several occasions that he would be waiting for her when she got off work and if she walked out with another man, he'd kill them both.
She was his meal ticket.
She had been married before in a similar situation and hooked up with this guy from the same bike club because he was bigger and badder than her first husband which was the only way she saw to get free from the first moron.
Eventually, she got fed up and got her husband down on the floor with a 12 gauge to his throat. His parents called the swat team to get her off of him.
That was the last we ever heard from her. I think she's living in the Louisiana bayou now.

The other women's stories are just as bad if not worse.

Nope, in this group the Welsummer is the only confirmed cockrel and he is a January 21 chick and still silent. The only crow? attempts are coming from the two quarantined ten week old CCL cockrels from GFF.

Sad situation, and all too common in our society today, unfortunately.

I'd been feeding mannapro chick feed but it only comes in the dinky 5lb bags and we blow through those immediately with how many little mouths there are to feed.

Any recommendations on any good chick feed I can get in LARGE bags at a decent price??

Define good chick feed? TSC (at least my local ones) carry Purina Chick Starter in a 25 lb (?) bag, they also carry Dumor or whatever there off brand is. Since I have more than one type of fowl I feed everybody Purina Flock Raiser so I only have to buy one type of feed for everybody.

I'm sure low self esteem has a lot to do with it.

What store are you going to?
Any feed store should have 40 or 50 lb. bags of starter.
IMHO, there won't be a tremendous difference between mannapro and any other brand.
They'll all have all the nutrients chicks are known to need in the correct ratios.

My local MFA makes a 50lb starter for 10.50, and Feed stores and TSC have 50lb Purina, Durmor, or ADM feed $13-16.

Unfortunately I'm coming up empty handed for the Polaris. Anytime I think I might be onto something the website is blocked. Hopefully you can get it figured out or find some dynamite.
