One baby is out and yelling its head off. Last two still aren't pipped that I can see. I may go to bed early so I can check on them in the middle of the night. I'm already yawning.

Paid a visit to my local feed store today. I swear! Every time I go in there, the price of crumble goes UP! What the H-E-Double Toothpicks is up with that? No kidding! Every single time! It just keeps going up and up and up and up!!

I had to run to the feed store today, too. A bale of pine shavings was $8.00. I forgot to order my usual (ADM), so I had to buy Purina.
Start and Grow (18%) $11.35
Gamebird Startena (30%) $15.50
Layena pellets (16%) $11.00
Gamebird Layena (20%) $15.00
Gamebird Conditioner (19%) $15.00

Kathy? Where did you order your Marek's vaccine from? How long did it take to receive it from time of order to receipt? How much was it?

$19.95 here:

I just found out they have this now! I did not know there was a vaccine for MG. I am getting it.

I order from Jeffers most of the time. The have quick delivery. I think I got it within 2 or 3 days. It only comes in 1000 dose bottles. Used to be 2000 dose bottles, I believe.​

Kathy, have you experienced MG before?

Thanks for the info Kathy!

Holy Crappoly! Did you see the price on that MG vaccine?

Too rich for this paupers budget.

I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed on that one and pray like the Dickens that they never contract it.

Your prices on the feed are much better than mine, though I did beat you out on the price of shavings!

50# Scratch Grains $11.49
50# Rolled Oats $12.49
50# Del's 24% Starter Crumble $18.99

3.8 Cu. Ft. Shavings $6.99

Who puts out that Gamebird Startena 30%? That sounds interesting. That's right up there with cat food for % of protein. I priced the flax seed today. Lucky for me they didn't have any on hand. $30.00 for a 50# bag of that!

I think I'm going to be shopping around at a few of the feed stores in Spokane and see if I can't do better on that price. I'd really like to add that to their diet, but I do have a budget.

Well, I have a very full day tomorrow, trying to finish up that dreadful shower in the guest bathroom, for one thing. I'll be so stinking happy when I finally finish that project. It's not that I dislike tile work. Far from it. It's just that it has taken me forever and I'm getting terribly bored with the whole thing! *yawn* So, I'm gonna scoot off to bed early tonight. Hopefully I won't sleep in like I did this morning!

Y'all take care and have a pleasant evening!

Amy....50# would last you forever...if you put a couple pounds per 50# of crumbles...that would last you through 10 50# bags of crumbles...how much crumble do they eat a week? Look at it that way. have I put the crimped oats in my food and on the video you are about to watch, you will see how much I have left from a 50# bag...when you are mixing it, you do not use it as quickly...make sense?


Okay DeDe in her video review being forced into loves by Cheyenne and Amy you can see their food mix....I am waiting on the barley and flax seeds to come in and they will be added...I may actually put some more oats in there and scratch grains as well.

Hmmm feed prices:

50# Layer Crumbles 12.25 X 2
50# Crimped Oats 11.50
40# BOSS 14.99
50# 5 grain Scratch 8.25

that was my feed bill yesterday plus grower pellets for ducks and Sarah's birds 10.19 per 50# x 2, 19.79 per 18# cat food, 15.99 for 40# dog food

Purina makes all the ones I got today. I like the Gamebird feed because it has animal byproducts. The regular Purina does not. I can't remember how much scratch is here. I don't hardly ever buy scratch. I think it is around $10. for 50 pounds. I will have to check into that flax seed too.

 

[Cetawin]

Kathy you don't need much...a couple pounds to 50# of feed.

So how many silkies are you bringing? Pair of Buffs and a Trio of Blues?

Pips & Peeps (Jean) said like 90 - 95% of flocks test positive for MG or MS. That is scary to me. I have read anywhere from 75 - 95% and that is just too steep for me. I am gonna take precautions. I have too many birds to take unnecessary risks.
