INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

I, I checked out the list. Some of my info is off a touch.
We are in Bargersville. We have RIR and a few mutts from craigs list. The mutts are small but close to LF size.

So the breeds i have listed is not right at all?

That was the truth, I just did not want to be harsh. It looks great now though.

has anyone tried the TSC brand of feed? I got a coupon for buy 3 get 1 free but 4 bags of a feed is a risk I'm not sure I'm willing to take.

Still no eggs and the chickens are about 20 weeks. We are currently using an energy efficient light bulb. Could that be the problem?

I do buy from them, it seems to do fine. Ferments very well and they are thriving on it. I have still yet to visit the co-op north of me, our trucks transmission is out.

With it being winter, and they are still young, I would sit tight and wait. Mine were 23-25 weeks to POL possibly longer. Winter slows their maturity down also so may be playing a role in it too. Hang in there!

So we can ferment feed not just grains?

 

[Chaneys Ranch]

OH yes! I just use the grain to start the ferment liquid and feed to the birds as an additional treat. I will type up a short tutorial how i prepare mine, and share it later tonight.

Does anyone's Polish get big icicles hanging off the front of their crest? Mine does all the time and there is nothing I can do about it. When he gets drinks they get wet then freeze. lol I will have to get pics of it sometime.

 

[Crafty chick]
