NY chicken lover!!!!

Heck I will. I use Dumor chick starter and it's gone up $2 per 50 # bag.

Anyone here raise the price of their eggs. I was at Wegmans yesterday $3.29 a dozen large.

Not selling mine for $2.50 anymore.

For the layers I switched from Dumor to Purina Layena, only a dollar more then Dumor for the last month.
 
With the hoop copes do you close off the house part or keep it open in the winter? Thinking about using wax /oil cloth over the wire in chicken playhouse water and wind proof still lets light in any thoughts?

Rancher have you checked with any local feed stores? Down here the IBA sells feed cheaper then TSC or if looking for extender feed Logans sells their mix (think it's 16%) $10.00 50# there's no add minerals in it. Spent the last six weeks researching feeds for all the critters best nutrition for the buck. Family says the dog and cat eat better then they do-)

If anybody is looking for prepaid phone company customer service based in USA whisper me.
 
Okay ...now you got my curiousity up ....Got pictures


Haha! I'll try to get a few today. I did move him to my other coop with my silkies, clb, easter egger and silver laced wydotte. They are all very docile as he is so i'm hoping that will solve the issue.
 
With the molting and combining all the youngsters into the coop, as well as I will be away in late October and early November, I have brought back the large feeder to be in the coop. I still feed in the yard, but not as much. The feed I use is the feed for meat birds, it is cheaper than Flock Raiser a d has the same ingredients for less. Only getting two eggs somedays, and found that they are laying behind the nest boxes...sneaky girls. As soon as they stop molting, I will hook up the rope lights. As they need a certain number of hour of light to make eggs, I'll set up the timer and we'll start getting more eggs. While they molt I won't add the light, they need to put their energy into making feathers, then they can switch to egg production. I believe Marquisella said 13 was the minimum hours of light for good egg production.

I raised mine from $2.00 to $2.50 due to feed prices. Although an 18 pk I sell for $3.50.
 
I think Purina makes Dumor ...compare labels ..
Any more curly toes ? I think those chickens were nor getting enough feed .
Lower chickens get chased away from feed ...I try to remember to check their crop at night to make sure they are getting fed enough

I'm sure Purina makes Dumor. More ingredients on the Layena, and different nutritional #s. Wish I lived closer to 'Nutty', her prices are very good on 100# sacks. Our local feed mill doesn't even have 100# sacks, though I do believe they would deliver in bulk.
I miss the Blue Seal mill we used to have, good feed and a few dollars cheaper than anywhere.

I don't have chickens with curly toes. ?
