goldhill!

vfem - love, love, love the prius! i also have a hybrid (mercury mariner) but it's not as cool as the prius. love it! and your chicks are gorgeous!!!

ht - good luck to your cochins! i'm not so sure about my eggs. lots of them have been clear, but i've so far just candled one here and there. i plan to candle them all tonight as i am pretty sure i saw a blood ring as the battery on my candling flashlight went dead. it seems lots of folks here on byc haven't had the best luck w/ the seller of my eggs.

matt - did you feed your worms. i weirdly have lots of experience with them and they love paper thin sliced apples and it will help them live longer and be more nutricious for your birds! i doubt i'm telling you anything you don't already know but just in case! i'll have to check out that site if any of these eggs hatch!

have a good night everyone!

I seen that you are in Albemarle. Mauney's Feed Mill on Hwy 52 in New London is having a chick sale on April 16th. The ad says they will have chicks and 7-10 week old pullets. I have never been to one of their chick sales so I am not sure if they have a good selection but the man I got my silkies from told me about it, then I seen the ad on craigslist for it. You can search "Mauney's Feed" on charlotte craigslist to see the ad. HTH

I am hoping to find older pullet (3-4 months old) so I can see the final feathers.

They feed on the bedding which is laying crumbles. I do use apples for their moisture source. I used to use Potatoes, but found apples work alot better. I got mediums so that I will have time to give lots of treats to the chickens before they pupate. The last worms I ordered were in 2006 and have been raising them since. I had to make this order because I over harvested the bins this winter and ended up with almost none left to get to the beetle stage and lay eggs.

I gave out 400-500 mealworms today. Everyone(115 birds) got at least a couple each. Some of the more piggish got way more then their share.
