Are they totally out until May? Darn I was gonna try a bag of it.

NO! They are not out. I was suppose to order on the 23rd and I thought I was suppose to order this week. It is actually leaving Oregon TODAY. So it is just my schedule. I made the boo boo. I am sure if you make the cut off that you will get it.

Everyone;

Cari, Is it 50 bags max? If it is then I will wait for everyone to do their orders because I do not want to hog it because I will need ALOT this time since I will not have Cascade.

Yes 50, 50# bags MAX for one pallet. I don't think we will have as many people order this time, so you should get yours in if you need it.

 

[LALASD4]

Just get a pallet Nancy.

I don't need any this time around, I just opened up 2 of the 3 bags last week. But next time!

Al, You read my mind.

I was eating dinner and thinking that the tote would be good which is the same as the pallet but of 1 type of feed. I swear if I had a Big ole truck I probably would.

I do have ALOT of mouths to feed and they are PIGS.

It must be nice to just have a few chickens. I went through the 2 bags of chicken starter in 2 weeks. It has been LONG gone. Darn chicken math.

I never could do anything in moderation.

I'll take
3 layer crumbles
1 chick starter crumbles
1 scratch

Nancy I go through 50 # layer every month with only 6 LF hens, and 2 bantams eating it. I've got little piggies!! And that's with supplementing with lots of fruit, wheat, yogurt, oatmeal, scratch, and tons of bugs and worms.

Hey I read a post today that pumpkin seeds prevent worms. My chickens are all pretty young, and I haven't seen any signs of infection, so I'm hesitant to use the dewormer, and sacrifice all those eggs....Has anybody tried pumpkin seeds for that purpose?

And what do you use DE for?
