OMG-Look at your Birchen Lildinkem!!!
How wonderful that you have him. You're very lucky to have him. Are you breeding and hatching Birchen chicks?
You have some lovely roosters.

I have been asking people that I believe there is some sort of secret ingredient people with beautiful birds keep from us

Yes, we really haven't talked much about what everyone is feeding. But on the Marans forums lots of people say they give their Marans more protein than their other birds. For a few months I was mixing Purina Layena with Game Bird Flight Conditioner. Right now I am mixing Layena with Flock Raiser. But I don't feed any custom diet or add cat or dog food like some people do. I have to keep things fairly simple because I don't have a lot of time.

Ohh I might have to get some flock raiser for them

I am feeding straight Flock Raiser right now. My TSC just started carrying Purina -- they used to only carry Dumor. Unfortunately, they are not able to get the Gamebird Flight Conditioner.
