How many chicks do you plan on ordering this year?
3 or 4 hundred?

I don't have final counts yet.

That may be for the best.

Was gonna ask the other day. Where do you buy feed?

Here's the Spanish trio

And Cornish bantams. Close ups of Dwight and Butterball

Just our local TSC. Not the best, but the birds do fine on it and with picky old birds and winter here, I'm not about to make then change to a different feed they'll refuse until starving

Your chickens look great. I like the color pattern on your polish.

My Jinxed mosaic male might be doing better? His feet are thawed all the way, but now they're swollen and blistered. Just hoping he gets better. I still don't know what happened to him to cause it

Thanks! I wish they were a bit cleaner black wise on the body. From what I've seen, they're not supposed to have any black past the shoulders. But they're also hatchery birds and I know they'll never be perfect.

The trio came from IDEAL and HawkBait came from Murray McMurray

You might look into shopping around come spring.
Cheaper feed prices = more feed for same price = more birds. Just saying.

I'm not sure I'll find cheaper feed . There isn't a local feed store that does poultry feed (all the money is in large animals here and it's a well known fact) and shiptons is more expensive for the same stuff.

I'll be shopping though anyways once weather gets better. Also looking into starting to do fodder for at least the penned birds occasionally
