Hi All,

New to chicken raising - we got our first chickens last month (3 year and a half old hens).

and of course I have a question - does anyone know where in Berks County I can find organic chicken feed?

Hello & Welcome

....Clinton County here..

I certainly hope not! and I bet most of the people .............if not all .............on here would agree.........................seems so wrong on an intuitive level.

with the concerns re: our world food sources and quality of foods.................and the rights of the individual to his/her own property.................it is hard to believe that this would be happening.

unfortunately........there is such a strong influence by big companies and money that the little guy has little impact................this is a truly sad statement and I do hope that some people in government can still............even with these influences............make reasonable and sensible decisions for the average person.

agree

Apple Crisp

Slice peeled apples thinly & layer in casserole dish

Mix oatmeal, butter/margarine (softened), a little flour, brown sugar, cinnamon & clove until most of the lumps are out (best to mix with hands)

Sprinkle topping over apples

Put in 350F oven until apples boil in their own juice & are tender

(Can you tell I don't use cookbook recipes?)

suddenly dying for done apple crisp! I may have to make some lol.

We make it all the time around here. I gave up on getting kids to eat apples before they go bad. I just slice em up & make crisp out of them. Then they disappear real fast.

haha my kids are the opposite, at least my daughter. She doesn't like apple crisp, she prefers plain apples. My son and husband will go through apples like crazy

Are your sunglasses too dark? Have you been struck blind? Why can't you see anything? I know sometimes I have my eyes shut, and I think I have gone blind.

I got a rooster last Wednesday, it was a red sex link, and it was taken back because they guy accidentally gave me his prize rooster, ahahah but then on Friday I got a new one, it is a white leghorn,and it has been in with them since Friday, so today I cracked open one if my eggs to make an inlet, and u saw the white bullseye in it, and then I cracked open two more, and they also had the white bullseye, so I have two questions,
1. Which rooster would it be is there anyway to check, because they hens lay fertile eggs for 30 days don't they,
2. Since I have the rooster in with 12 hens, and I am getting about 9 a day, since I opened 3 in a row is there a chance that they are all fertile or just a lucky chance
Thanks Reece

There is a dry, heated area, with an attached run with a wire bottom. It takes a while for them to get used to walking on wire. It also seems like the young birds don't roost well when moved to housing with nice roosting areas. I think I need to make some sort of roosts in the brooders and also maybe a raised area where they can walk on wire. Time to think up some changes to the brooder maybe.
