I just wanted to share....I made the substitute flock block. I really just love that stuff. I made it into small enough blocks that fit into a suet holder. What a hit!! The blocks are perfect even if they are not quite solid because the holder keeps them together. The girls are crazy for it. It keeps them busy longer because they really have to work to get it out of the holder.

Here's the link to the substitute flock block http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/10/flock-block-substitute-recipe-healthy.html?m=1

Thanks again to @MsChickenMomma for posting this. I've substituted everything for stuff I had on hand. Successful every time. It makes the house smell great too. My hubby almost always asks for oatmeal cookies after because they smell so similar.

Hehe kinda like peanut butter dog biscuits. Almost identical to people cookies but no sugar ;-)

Lol! Oh yes. I've had a few people surprised with pb dog treats when they've taken a bite before I could warn them.

Hard to believe our girls are over a month old, here are a few glamour shots from this week:


EE Clara with her green legs and newly black head


Amelia our sex-link getting her head feathers in


Our Buckeye we suspect of being a boy, tiny tail and roo like behavior.
Here he is getting ready to pounce at Amelia up in the brooder window
She totally did the same when she was out.


Here they are being nice, these three seem to be at the top of
the "pecking order" which here consists of rushing, jumping and
flapping at each other and seeing who can stand taller longer


Dark and Light- my Black Copper Marans Morgaine and Baby Buff our Buff Orp



Long bodied not so little Dorking, Victoria, my husband's chick

Did anyone see this headline?

"Mail-order chicks from a single Ohio hatchery have infected 63 people with Salmonella, putting a third of them into the hospital, federal health officials said Friday."

I got scared when I saw Ohio. It is about Mt. Healthy Hatchery, not Meyer, fortunately. Still kind of scary. I feel bad for the people who got those chicks to be able to control their food source and ended up with salmonella poisoning. How awful!

Is this current news? I know Mt Healthy had issues before for Salmonella.
