Morning all ..prayers that everyone's day goes smother than the day before:hugs

The feed mill called and they were going to mill it yesterday afternoon so I am going to pick the turkey feed up this afternoon :celebrateI ordered it the middle of Dec, they ask for 2wks notice, so Christmas took almost a week and the cold weather messed up their machines.. just glad to be able to get it before the next cold snap hits

I don’t know, I haven’t used it in almost 4 months. And now that I have males in the bunch, I won’t be using it any time soon.

Sorry, I must have missed something along the way:oops: so you've got them on a grower now with grit and oyster shell on the side? Your concern was they aren't eating the OS or that the boys are eating the OS?:confused:

Soooo seriously.... 100% humidity?? What does that look like?? Are you all swimming?

Desert here so LOW humidity.



:woot I'm *special*. :lau

On my 4th cup o coffee. :p
Might make oatmeal for breakfast.
Egg count has dropped to a pitiful 3 a day from 31 flipping birds.
My Bitty bantam and a couple of Australorp are laying. Taters the bantam is 7! These young girls need to get with the program!

Funny thing this morning.....
Hubby was getting dressed for work just as the sun came up. He sticks his head in the hall and says "there is something wrong in the coop! Your birds are raising hell out there!"
I heard the noise already.....had my jacket on. It was not my birds! It was my neighbors. They have horrible predator proofing. I hope they are OK.
Mine were all still sleeping.
 
Still have a raging headache. I am really miffed at myself this morning.

I had been making and eating sausage and potato soup. Every single time I would eat it, it would upset my stomach and......ahem... other things. I am thinking taters, the sausage must be bad or something......

Nope.... because I hadn't eaten potatoes in a LONG time, I completely forgot they are a member of the nightshade family, which I am terribly sensitive to... TATERS ON TATERS!!

So, no more potatoes for me unless they are sweet potatoes. I need to find a sweet potato I can grow that is not sweet. Anyone?!?

I'm thinking boy... I see what look like saddle feathers. Not all males get the long tail feathers (or so I've read). Did you say how old and I missed it? The comb is reddish too.... but that could be age.

eta: Legs look pretty thick too but nothing to compare it to so that could be me.

I was thinking boy too b/c of the saddle feathers look pointy, but the older it gets it'll be more apparent. Steven was a girl until he was 19 weeks. Very gender fluid, but those saddle feathers gave him away.

Don't have more kids or don't buy the inlaws a house? It sounds like she has nice inlaws though.. mine hated me b/c I didn't let their son have an open marriage (but only open on his side)... I know, I'm a horrible wife.

I dated a guy who snored horribly and would stop breathing so I'd lay there listening to him snore then jostle him to start breathing again... he wondered why I'd sleep so late... b/c I was up all night w/ his snoring!

I mix layer pellets w/ flock raiser crumble... I'd do it the other way around, but I can't find flockraiser pellets (higher protein). They do have the feather fixer pellets, but it's sooooo expensive. Odin will only eat the pellets. I feel bad about giving him the extra calcium, bc I know it's not good for him.

Last night my daughter went to the coop w/o me and was standing in there for several minutes looking around to find Ash's egg (bantam).. couldn't find it. As we're standing there we hear a loud POP!... dug through the straw and found the egg... she had been standing on it the whole time. Ash spent all that time making that egg for nothing. She must have laid it on the floor and it got buried while they were all digging around.

We're supposedly at 33 right now. (I work in a windowless dungeon) and supposed to hit 48 beautiful degrees, so naturally they're forecasting rain for today. Of course now they're worried about things thawing too fast + rain and causing flooding. I'm just hoping some of the yard snow will melt so the chickens can come outside for a bit tomorrow.

They do have a white variety of sweet potatoes, you could try them.
