I have decided to try my hand at growing my own chicken feed! What do you guys think?

Good one! Did you plant the turkey feed on the other side? LOL

I have 4 silkie roosters that I need to find homes for. They were hatched last summer and are friendly.

Great! My mean one can't compete with this. Wish I had a place for all these silkies, my pens are all full On the lighter side - my silkie can whoop your silkies

Let us know how it works.

They are awesome! What kind are they? And what will they look like when they grow up?

They are 7/8th Cubalaya and 1/8th Cornish. I would like to know how they will look when mature. I have never had any in the "Zebra-ish" looking color before. I was hoping someone on here could help me with the coloring. The mother is blue and the father is recessive white.

Edited to add information.

hmmm.... what day are you on? I'm afraid those don't look good.

Sorry. If you could get some closer pictures (I know, it's really hard) it'd be a little easier for us to tell. Here's a picture from one of my batches on Day 4 a few month ago.

That was day 8. :-(

Well crap. On that note, anyone in the Delco area have hatching eggs available?

Not in Delco, but I can ship.

The weather report changed on me late last night. It was after midnight when the report dropped a few degrees, and they added a frost warning. I was getting ready to pitch a tent over the garden! Well, lay it over the garden anyway. This should be the last of the frost in my area. The 10 day forecast is between 41 and 57* for the lows.

Quote: Ha ha! I am sure the gangs will be very happy with what grows under those bags!

In all seriousness, will I know now if anything was ruined in the gardens last night, or will it take a few days to die off?

Wow! Very good! Feed companies will be so mad about this!

You will be able to tell now, go look for anything that has turned dark green or black. Frozen vegetation darkens very quickly.
