Welbars are better layers than I expected. Blue Bear laid 5 days in a row after the first two eggs, although the one from yesterday is little too small

How are your new girls doing?

How are your new girls doing?

They are pretty good. Pokie girl really wants to go outside with the big girls, but I think I should quarantine them for two weeks. My son left their gate open for several hours on Thursday, nobody bothered them at all. I plan to let them join the big girls next weekend under my watch.

Hi all! Don’t know why, but I stopped getting notifications for this thread. I’m glad to be back.

My flock is finishing up treatment for a terrible roundworm attack. Heartbreaking and expensive, I will NOT neglect regular deworming in the future! My 12 Memorial Day pullets are SCREAMING to get outside, they are in my living room until the flock is finished deworming. My broody Cochin hatched 4 Easter Egger mixes, lost 1 at 2 weeks old (no apparent reason, just sudden death) and 1 at 3 1/2 weeks to a RACCOON that I think jumped out of a tree to land on my coop (20 feet below!). Daring bastard. Lost 2 of my Memorial Day pullets (I think to the same coon) and a 3rd was left with 1 leg. She is one amazing girl, she pumps her remaining leg every day to get stronger and lets nothing get her down! She might have to stay inside with me, but I feel so so blessed that she is alive! My Silkie/Cochin mixes are just finishing a brood fest, 6 chicks so far. 8 Bourbon Red turkey eggs in the bator, due to hatch 8/19. Hoping they survived the power outage. Dennis’s BC Marans pullet should start laying soon, probably about the same time the turkeys hatch. *Sigh* I guess that’s everything. Glad to see you all!

My beloved Sunflower, the amputee pullet:

3 of my 6 just-hatched baby Silkie/Cochins, going to their new home tomorrow:

Babies with one of their Mommas: (She was VERY pissed to lose them, but I can’t risk keeping them with that raccoon around)

One of them was splayed leg. Easy treatment, it’s doing better already!

One of my pullets, so ready to go outside!!

Hello from Indiana County! We will be getting our chicks in Feb-Mar of 2021 I have been searching trying to sorce out grains to make my own feed. No such luck. I have settled on Homestead Harvest Non GMO Soy Free. It is 45 minutes away at about $20 for 40# bag. Anyone else have a good sorce of Non GMO Whole grain feeds?

Tractor supply has organic feed at a reasonable price. I thinking it’s also about $20 for 40lb, but it’s processed. I order new country organic food online. $28 for 50lb, but shipping is $20.
