..... no, I don't feed them medicated chick starter/grower. I don't think my feed store carries that :S there's a TSC really really far from my house and they do have medicated chick starter/grower only if they were closer I would buy that. I always take care of my chickens so as far as I know I haven't gotten a sick chicken! although, when I was a beginner I freaked out most of the time when I thought they were getting sick or something, but now I know that that's what all chickens do

normal behavior.

I still remember when my neighbor gave me one of her hens and she was SICK! it looked like she had mareks. My chickens were vaccinated so I didn't had to worry too much about them catching it, but I did cull the hen.

2 Royal Palm Turkeys
5 White Leghorn Pullets
1 White Leghorn Cockerel
5 Silver Laced Wyandotte (SR)

"SHE"! lol.... I intend to get a bator later this spring/summer. The "chick-addiction" hasnt really set in just yet. Thank God tho cuz Ive still got stuff to do to get ready! I am familiar with the addiction....I used to raise parrots

I went with Cackle because Im in N.E. Oklahoma and they are about 6 hours away. I figure Ill get my chicks within a day.

Totally off the subject but its so cute I wanted to share...Im making a sign for my coop and I needed a good name. Im going with "Mother Cluckers Coop"!
