I am pleased to announce that I purchased Reyvaugh's LF Ameraucana. I know it is a bittersweet feeling for her. We are very excited, and thank her very much!

I can't put mine out in the coop until I get something to cover the leaky roof. Anyone in my area now where I can find some cheap (free would be nice) metal roofing. I priced it at Lowes,$31.00 a sheet. I almost swallowed my tongue. I need at least 4 sheets to cover their area. I've been watching CL but no luck. We had roll roofing on but the high winds shredded it off.

I use the plastic roof sheets, PVC? about $12/sheet at Lowe's or the Depot.

It's really as simple as I typed. I'm lazy like that! I don't use any calculations, I just do it by eye. Sprinkle maybe a tbsp of yeast on your dry mash (or pellets or whatever, but mash is cheaper), mix it up, add water and mix it up until EVERYTHING is moist. I like to add just enough water that I can level the top off and it's kind of like a cow patty. If it's crumbly, it needs more water.

But how well does this work with grain mixes

I use layer mash, sweet mix, beef chop, cracked corn, whole oats & layer crumbles all in the same fermented mix.

That sounds like a great idea to me! however i will then need 2 more coops for all the chickens i will want to keep. :) Thanks again for the beautiful hyacinth and the cute little rooster figurine! I love it! I am glad you stopped by today!

Sad news... Chrystal (our yearling ewe) had her baby. it was SO small. She was an awesome mom, but it just wasn't enough even with us tubing the lamb twice to make sure she had food. She was just too small and weak.

Chrystal is completely devestated, as am I. For being a first time mom, she was the best! She was pawing at her trying to get her up when i found her dead. She keeps calling for her now and it is the saddest cry i have heard a sheep make. I wish she could understnad me so i can tell her what happened. Stuff like this happens when you breed. And i am usually the strong one with the losses, but i have to admit, this one tore me up a bit. I named her Pixie, i should know better than to name a lamb until you know it is going to survive.

I know i missed a lot of other posts. Been a busy evening. (morning? haven't been to bed yet) Thanks for pointing me in the direction of some plants and seeds. I would be happy to host a party here. We have plenty of room and i love to cook for people. I would love to come to a swap hosted by us PA BYCers. I don't have much to swap in the line of birds, but i can bring (some) money. :)
Ok everyone, Have a nice day. i am going to try to get SOME sleep before the little one has to be gotten up and off to school.

I am so so sorry!!
 
My DH was getting his haircut today and was told to feed the chickens cracked corn. That they don't need layer mash. What do you think?

I haven't pulled them from the bator yet, lol. They're pretty easy though. Docile, small (about 10oz full grown), lay an egg per day (14 grams, lol), won't brood their own eggs though. Keep more males than hens though.
