Wow take a couple days off to fix a furnace and come back to over 100 posts. What post on what hen Granny???? ought a couple "flock blocks" for the girls to see which brand they prefer. Also starting to clean the deep freezer and send out the freezer burnt meat out for them as well. They sure like deer meat. Maybe the jolt of extra protein will get them laying decently again this 18 to 24 eggs a day out of 60 plus hens isn't gonna cut it. I told they I have a big stock pot and I am not afraid to use it. Cooked down a couple roos and the stock was amazing!!!!! Thinking about ordering a few silver laced wyndottes and maybe a some astralops this spring. Plus let a few of the girls go broody latter. Nothing until I get the roo's in the brooder taken care of though. Older roo's are good for nothing but stewing right?? OR just for making stock and then giving flesh to dogs/cats/other chickens????????? Those over 1 year old.
