Thanks for the welcome, Terri (hopefully that's your first name!) I see you have Welsummers, I have a few, too. 5 pullets and a rooster. 3 of the pullets have not started laying yet and they are 29 weeks old. Is that usual with this breed?

Yes, I'm Terri! and yes, it's been my experience that my Wellies started laying later. I'm still waiting on my Ameracaunas too, the slowpokes! but the daylight hours are less now & some of the older girls are starting to moult. I'll be boosting the feed protein level with calf manna starting this week to see if I can "kick start" them into laying.

Good FOGGY morning everybody! we can't see across the road at our place!

I am so happy - my winter garden is coming up!

Planted everything from seed 2 weeks ago:
swiss chard, beets, turnips, cabbage, sugar snap peas & broccoli. Have the "greens" - lettuce, mustard, etc in another patch. Plus I had 5 "volunteer" tomato plants come up after we plowed under the summer garden, so I put those in pots & they are doing really good. I'll put them in the greenhouse when it gets colder, so we'll hopefully have ripe tomatoes this winter.

Off to weed that garden & pick up pecans. How are pecan prices in your areas? We are holding at $1.25 right now & prices are expected to go up again.

Have a good middle-of-the-week everybody!​

Good morning, Terri. Please tell me more about the calf manna you give your hens for extra protein. I'm not familiar with that and am looking for something other than BOSS to give mine. We're also molting big time over here!
Thanks, Martha

Welcome to the Louisiana thread . We love L-S-U and the New Orleans Saints

All except one member of this

thread that I shant mention any names .

, because they have been very helpful since we are new to chickens .

Glad to have you with us

You can shantlessly mention my name.

WE? Who is WE? WE is NOT a part of liking LS- BOO. I "support" the Saints in my own little way but you know I"m not a "bandwagoner".

I saw this guy who had his truck painted with all kinds of LS-FOO colors. I was like, "DUDE, I hope that you at least graduated from the school." I had to post a pic for everyone who is a member of the LS-MOO cult.

I saw where someone on Craigslist was selling 2 LS-FOO rugs. I thought about buying them to use in the run as a poop board but didn't want to waste my $5.00.

Yes, abuse is our middle name.

I'm the step child who gets abused the most but I have tough skin and I wear steel toe rubber boots when walking in poop.

She only wears steel toe rubber boots in hopes that they will keep her weighted properly.She is completely and udderly terrified of slipping in poop and falling (in poop face first) before she get to feed the birds and the eat her because they are STARVING to death because she starves them over there so badly you can feel their jelly rolls....lol....

Isn't that right, JULIE.....
