Good evening everyone!

I've been lurking today, but haven't felt like interacting much. Well, now I have to because I have a story to tell. We put a plastic fabric cutting mat on top of the chick pen because we had a few chicks decide to fly over the edge and go on walkabout around the house. It didn't cover the whole top of the brooder, but it seemed to keep them in. Well that worked for a few days, but I noticed when I was getting meat from the freezer for dinner that there were only 5 chicks in the brooder. My larger pullet decided to go on walkabout in my pantry......:he We had to get creative and I used a table leaf to block the open part of the brooder top. I need to get these little stinky taters out of my house and into the coop.

In other news, my MIL and I went to the local Corningware/correll outlet that is going out of business, we got a bunch of stuff for $120. It was originally $300.

Chickens are getting bored in the basement.

I was thinking of mixing up some flock blocks, but I am afraid that I might get the chickens sick.

Is that possible?
too much of any treat is bad..no more than 10% of food could be treats let them peck at one for 10-20 min after they eat their regular feed.
