I use a treadle feeder for the chickens. No waste. No rodents. The turkeys are delicate eaters & have excellent table manners.
Hoover is handsome!

I switched from mash to pellets this fall and have a lot less waste.

I would love to get 10 or so. He would like to show a breeding pen or 2.

What county? If you don’t mind me asking

A sign/service you may appreciate....

Ralphie I noticed Hoovers color . You know I like genetics . So my guess he is not a splash . Likely a form of dominate white that produces a splash look with one copy . Erminett when only black shows like splash . I see some red .

I am in Blue Earth County. You? Do you ship or could I come pick up?

I have a survey type questions..

My Chickens are slobs. They spill feed all around the feeders. When I come in the pens they flock around me demanding feed.

I put my foot down today and told them no more feed until they clean up the mess of spilled feed around the feeders. I informed them the feed does not just grow on trees and needs to be paid for with my hard earned money....Some took it to heart, others laughed at me 2 gave me the upright middle primary feather..

So do you make your birds clean up their mess of spilled feed before giving them new?

Maybe it is just my birds having poor table manners. Either way it is time for an intervention!

UMMM I feed fermented feed and they don't waste it on the ground..they can't bill it out of the trough unless a turkey knocks the feed trough off the wall... then I don't feed until it's cleaned up

No I don’t ship. If you’re up for the drive I can get you some chicks in March if the girls keep laying

Haven’t shared any pictures for awhile so here’s a picture of my Orp male I’m using right now. I like him a lot. We will see if his chicks from these females are worth a darn. Should be nice
