Hall's Feed (as in Hall's sweet corn) over by Moomers by West high school. I pay 13.something for layer, and 14 or 15.something for 20% and 23% for my broilers and chicks (that's for a 50# bag). Super nice people, AND it's non-GMO feed. They're open Mondays and Thursdays from 9-5, other times by appointment. Shoot me a pm if you need the address. I'm sure I have one of the feed bag tags around here SOMEWHERE.
I'm starting to feel like I'm NEVER going to finish putting my garden in. Of course, it's mostly my own fault because I keep buying more and more stuff to put in, but STILL! Last week I put in 30 Roma plants. I have another 10 plants (2 each of some sort of slicer, cherry, yellow, heirloom, and early girls) that I need to find a place for. Today I put in 42 pepper plants. I have an 8ft fence of snap peas growing nicely, radishes, carrots, parsnips, and beets all in (though the last 3 haven't germinated yet.....AND I got them in a few weeks later than I wanted). Herbs (6 kinds i think). Potatoes. And I still have to put in all of my zucchini, yellow squash, watermelon, and cantaloupes in. Being a 'farmer' is a lot more work than people think!
I also got a bunch of my wintersown flowers in the ground today. Lupine, foxglove, california poppies, and whatever the flowers were that the kids picked out (calendula and baby's breath maybe?). My morning glories are coming up along the fence too! I'm trying to stay on top of the weeding and watering in that bed this year so that it looks NICE for a change! AND my friend is giving me all the daisies I want; they are clearing out a flower bed that's gotten pretty crazy so they can put something else in. WOO HOO! Free flowers!
Welcome to BYC Jeff! I hope you enjoy your chicken adventure works out for you. I don't know of anyone selling pullets but I can look into it. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!
