Good morning all, I would give Talmage a call first if your going out just for food. I went to Goetzs yesterday and got the only bag he had left. Chicken feed is going like water in the grocery store.
Be safe everyone.

I'll check in with them.

Talmadge does not carry Layena, the only Purina products they carry are horse.
Neptune isn't that far.... I can get it if it's a problem.

I have gotten feed from The Hayloft in central Islip ,969-4429 if anyone is scrambling(gotta love it)for feed.... They're on Connetquot Ave.

I was in Brians in Rocky Point about a week ago. He started carrying Purina, had some Layena, at $20.
Smae price , closer.

That's ok Roberta. I have almost 2 bags plus scratch so I should be ok, just wanted to have a bit more just in case.

Well if it turns into a disaster, I have around 500 lbs in my house right now.
Anyone is welcome if need be.

Looks like 2 CL girls is all I'm gonna get. Really wish one
had been a boy. My broody is raising both of them. I cleaned out
her funky nest. Gave her back her three eggs that didn't hatch
just in case. Picked up an extra bag of feed and my prescriptions.
Now I am all ready for Sandy. Gonna bring broody and chicks inside
For the storm. My dad wants me to bring all the chickens inside. UGH.
They have a solid wood coop that is elevated. I told him they will be
fine but he is a worry wort. I'm not looking forward to cleaning the mess
the big girls will make in the house.

Seems dumb to use the 1000 dose vaccine for just
2 chicks. Ah well. The money I spent on these eggs
plus the money I spent on eggs last sping that didn't hatch
I could have just bought chicks from Greenfire. which
I still might end up doing when I move cause I have no Roo.
I'm bummed cause I really wanted to breed them and hatch
out a bunch of chicks in the spring for everyone. Sucks.

I went to Riverhead to Talmage and got feed, scratch, shavings and hay. Plus a bag of feed for Donna and one for my friend Vito. We're good to go!

I don't like Layena as much as I like the Agway stuff. It doesn't smell as yeasty as Layena. And it's never gone bad on me. This time around I bought 50 lb. of Hearty Hen feed ($17) as well as my usual 75/20 corn/oat scratch. The Hearty Hen feed has added Omega 3.

Rhonda and Aretha are having a really tough molt. They look like they've been plucked. I've added a lot more meat scraps to the treats to give them some more protein. I'm currently getting 2-3 eggs a day from 6 hens. Rhonda hasn't laid an egg in about 4 days. Poor things.

I looked long and hard at the chicks at Talmage. But since they have a 6 chick minimum, I walked away. If they had let me take 2 I would have picked up a couple of EEs or a EE/BO pair.

Mom just left. I signed papers for her HELOC. But since it was only a signature page, I put in an angry call to the banker demanding a copy of the whole agreement. How sad is it that I can't even trust my own mother???
