Went to rural king to get chicken feed today... wasn't expecting them to have chicks already. Came home with 6, 3 EE, 1 GLW, 1 SLW, 1 Light Brahma. We already had a brooder going with 4, DH noticed extras way too soon lol

Are they better than TSC at getting the right breeds? All my favorite employees no longer work at the TSC in Paw Paw and most of the new employees know nothing about chickens. My husband loves Rural King. Maybe I will talk him into making a trip over there and act surprised when I see chicks...I already have four incubators full of chicken and quail eggs with approximately 50-60 chicks out in my brooder. I don't think a couple more will make a difference!


Trying to find someone to process a bunch of extra roosters that are ready to move out of the grow out pens! Any ideas?

Laurie (from Remus in the middle of the mitten if you're looking with a satellite 240 acres in Rudyard twenty minutes above the Mac Bridge).  Our daughter, Natalie, manages Hearty Harvest--the family farm market that can be found on Facebook.

Nice to see literal neighbors here

Luckily hatched 7 chicks. Stuck at work at the incubator ran dry. The rest of the chicks shrink wrapped. This is my final incubation for the year. Happily though I have 6 Andalusians out of the bunch. 16/4 week old chicks, these guys, and another 26 on the way in a few weeks. Chickens chickens everywhere

First time getting chicks from there, so we'll find out. The EE were not labeled as such, thats just what I'm calling them.

Lost one chick already... my two year old managed to sneak away to laundry room, found him sitting inside the brooder, he squished one.
