Surviving Minnesota!

Welcome to the site! We recommend you get around 50 chicks, 30 ducklings, 15 Belgian Red cattle, 15 more chicks, a few fainting goats, and an alpaca.




I feel concerned that you have purple lace so freely laying around the homestead

You always hope that people would really know this stuff before getting chicks, but this will hopefully send the point home. Losing chicks suck, yet it happens. Many folks are too quick to point fingers. This should be obvious to anyone owning poultry, but maybe mention to have fresh water available at all times. I can see it now...."you didn't say to give them water"......lol

It is my DW's. I only use it for champion chick training. If it is a piece of cloth, my wife has it. She claims she sews for a hobby. I never see her sewing!

Good point @MinnesotaNice

@duluthralphie Why do you have purple tulle just laying about to dress up your chicks???

The color is to get them use to wearing the Grand Champion Ribbons.

Ralphie: Did you read my post about the popular blogger that dressed up her chicks and I quit following her?

Some get them on a whim, some get them because of no self control but still know nothing about them.

I did not..

HOWEVER< in my defense I did not dress the chick up. That is part of my show chicken training program. I do not want my birds to be startled when the purple grand champion ribbon is pinned on them.

Kloppers,, Beating a dead horse again, but I got another SS egg so I weighed them both. They both weighed 50 grams. I know you like large eggs, I will watch and see if they get bigger. Just thought you might like to know that.

So a medium by comer coal grade. Interesting. I would love to see if they trend higher. I probably will get some anyways because they are neat

They are not only beautiful they are sweet and like to be held and monkeyed with.
