Brad, I wanted to say thanks for mentioning the fencing clearance. I was able to get some today not as low as I wanted bu about 1/3 off. There were only a few left so we bought all of the 5 ft high 2x4 rolls. I still need to get Tposts or wooden posts and fencing brackets. But it will be a while before the new run actually gets done.
Now I'm off to ebay to look at netting prices.

When the kids were young and had Pioneer Days field trips, I saw the process done to sheep wool. Since Alpacas don't have lanolin, their fiber seems a little easier to deal with.

The hypoallergenic idea is what convinced me when I got my boys in the beginning.
Still plan to have more, but want to start with crias.. have a lot more fencing to do before I think about it tho.

Quote: Oh I would for sure explain its a sexlink. They are quite handsome, but the comb is wrong.
I hope to get more BR this year, Mabel is a good girl and the only one I have. She is very sweet.
Tried to get Buddy's picture earlier, he is the oldest boy, very handsome guy.
Gonna use mealies to bribe pics tomorrow.

Just curious, but do you have a rough estimate of how many chickens you have and how much you spend a week to feed them? We switched to dry food for the cold weather and our feed bill has gone up. I think it is close to $0.75-$1 a week per chicken and most of mine are not full grown.

I gave up on FF. Easier just to feed dry. Before I got these, I had roughly 50 chickens, a few of which are bantams. I can make a 50lb pound of feed last around 6-7 days. So averaged I spend 1lb per bird a week. But the LF do eat more than the bantams. Math is not my strong point lol, on average I spend $12-13 on a bag of feed Mine are all older (but 3) but some have quite a bit of filling out to do. Ify ou have any more questions, just ask
