Baker Creek Heirloom seeds has white ones, pink and purple ones plus a sweet potato pumpkin yam but doesn't say anything about relative sweetness. Have you tried mashed cauliflower?

Yes ma'am. Tastes NOTHING like taters.... but I found 2 varieties I'll give a try. American white and Okinawan purple. I think the okinawan purple are the ones we grew last year that didn't grow right.
 
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.
I’m sorry your in laws were taters. Mine were too. I wish I could start over and score ones like the @rjohns39 family.
 
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:

My Red Production’s (who are all gone now) would never eat Oyster Shell or Grit. They were on Layena and would eat egg shells. Someone posted somewhere on BYC that eggshells were not enough of a calcium supplement. And I didn’t know Tums could be used for a calcium supplement. I think this is what are thinking about?

I am really bad to have a story in my mind, but it doesn’t usually get typed out correctly where people can follow.
