Red River Brand has 20% layer pellets. Dandilion mentioned it back in the Spring - it is made in the Durant area - I found it in OKC and like it.

But will your chickens eat it?

-Stimp-

PS: It's too early!

Yes, the chickens, turkeys, guineas and ducks all seem to like it - once they realized I was no longer going to feed them the cracked grain laying formula that I was getting at Fisher's Mill in Bristow. And yes, it is too early.

Country: my husband has an environmental science degree. He worked for the DEQ for a while (wanted to work a fishery also, but ended up selling cars until the DEQ sent him an interview letter). Anyways They might offer internships at the local ESL or at the state office in the city. He works for Oneok now in maysville as an environmentalist type guy and has a buddy working for chesapeake. If you are interested maybe I could get you some phone numbers etc.

Morning everyone,

Got the girls outside chillen in the grass, getting ready to bug bomb my house for Fall(dont want spiders and any creepy crawlies making home in my place for the winter... lol)

Hey Al where do you pick up your DE? Does he keep it in stock or does he "special order?"

Any good recomended brands of Chicken feed and game bird feed? Been picking up the Atwoods brand but see more waste than I was when I had them first on Manna Pro... Any suggestions.

So, I'm lying in bed last night watching TV with a bowl of turkey soup sitting on one of those TV trays made for your lap. Our brand new Bourbon Red poult hatched 2 days earlier was watching TV with me, sitting on my shoulder. Little tiny fella.

I like my soup thick, almost to the point of a stew, really, and I like a lot of crackers in my soup. So, I crumbled up a big handful and started dropping them into the soup bowl.

Well, apparently the little guy was hungry for crackers because he ran down my chest and jumped right into the soup.

I guess I had a double helping of turkey soup for supper last night, and boy was it fresh.

[Oh, he's fine... there was such a big pile of crackers he didn't even get his feet wet.]

I get mine at the Lawton co-op. Nutrena, I think, for everything except game bird. I don't know how good it is, but I would rather patronize the co-op than Atwoods any day of the week. You get more for your money, too.

Thanks, BTW I am sure your new baby turkey was practicing for his future lifestyle as your food. HA HA HA

We have located and feed 16%. It seems to me that they do better on it. We found it at Tulsa Feed which is on Yale, just north of some railroad tracks and the Pine and Yale intersection.

Also I thought about the Scenic River that does testing.
Their offices are on Hy 10 about 3 mile North out past the first canoe rental place at the South bottom side of Sallow Hawk hill. It on the Westside of the road right passed the sharp curve before you start up the hill.
