Being so skittish could not take individual photos as they did not want to cooperate. They are going to be stunning birds.

ruination (roo-nation): what you are facing when it turns out the chicks you hatched are all males.

Ok, so this is my last post for the morning... I am good at spamming in the a.m before heading out for work. If I logged on more often there would not be 50 'Vicki' threads to get through.

I let my chicks into the little run yesterday. Finally discovered grass was edible. Great watching that.

Well sitting on my deck reading, something catches my eye... Low and behold we have an escapee. So I scoop him up and pop him back in a little puzzled about how he got out. I walk to the back side and see 7 more chicks outside the pen. An hour it took me to coral everyone back.

The really little ones were small enough to get under the deck which turned into a waiting game.
The coop is off the ground less than a foot so I could not quite get underneath to get them. The new storage unit was places on the backside of the coop so had no reach from that side.

Myself covered in mud and hmmm shall we say dog doo on my knees (did not notice that at the time)

. I happen to have been wearing shorts yesterday, right after I got out of the shower less than an hour before.

All chicks accounted for I took a deserved shower.

Now to go fix that fencing.

Hi Everyone, I am located in Greencastle and I have been looking for Organic non-GMO feed for my chickens. Our local stores do not seem to sell any and the shipping for buying online is very expensive. I don't mind the additional cost to get good food, but I don't want to spend more than neccessary on shipping fees. A nice drive is much more fun. I found one place http://centralindianaorganics.com/map.htm, but I was wondering if you know of any others or if you have had any experiences with this business? Thank you for your info!

Ooo, I'm absolutely no help on this, but very interested to hear what others may know. We just got our chicks and I would love to find a local source for this. I'm up north, but I drive 5 hours one way for my dog food, why not add another drive in for the chickens.

Welcome,

I'm in Greencastle also. My daughter found a source, but it was a 4 hour drive and she couldn't get enough people to commit , for it to pay her to go and get it. You are welcome to join our farm facebook page(in my signature) and you can talk to her. She been researching it for awhile now..
