They are replacing them, but the replacements aren't doing well either. We were thinking it had to do with shipping and cold weather but I'm seeing it might be more than that. I personally hadn't ordered from them, it's my friend Carol.

Eh I am learning that there is no substitute for finding a good, local breeder really.

Thank you all for the insights.

I really hate to hear ur having a ruff time of it Hon with chick from Ideal. Hopefully they will make good on the dead birds.

My hair used to be down to my butt.. i would have to pick it up in order to sit down

my sister decided to hack it off while I was asleep...

when I woke up she laughed and told my mother it would grow back... I looked like a demented chipmunk.... was not a happy camper


It's never gotten that long again...

yea i was sooo ******! so she came to me after mommy gave her a post apocolyptic bath and told me
"Dont worry daddy! the hair fairy will come tonight and i will have my hair back in the mornin!!!"
shes lucky shes my lil baby! lol i sure am gunna miss the long hair she had! she is 3 and never once had a hair cut till today! i could braid her hair and the braid would still be about 16-18in!
now my 5yo is the only one that has her ORIGINAL birth legnth hair! well her and my 17mo.... do they have sizzors that you need a license to operate?

Sounds like the ones with the broody aren't getting as much to eat

Are you feeding them all the same food? If the turkeys are getting a turkey feed or game bird starter and are sharing it with the faster growing chicks that would be a good reason for faster growth.. since turkey starters are higher in protein.. but if all the feed is the same then it's because the ones that are growing slower aren't actually eating as much

ok that makes sense they are just so much smaller it was really weird

My 8 from Ideal are just doing great, drank and ate like pigs from the moment I got them home.

I'm wondering if they've ramped up so heavily in order to get out the big deliveries to the feed stores that some just aren't strong enough. I will order from them again when the time comes.

Any fellow DFW folks have a good place to buy oyster shell? A couple of the feedstores I have tried haven't had it, and pet stores sell it in tiny bags.

tractor supply will have the 5 or 10 lbs bags ..thats what i get. i forgot how much but a lot cheaper than the feed store on that item.

I am talking to a place that sells them in up to 50 pound bags for not much - they are in the DFW area. If I hear back from them with favourable results, would you like for me to let you know?

I would love to know! Having trouble finding anything other than tiny bags for parrots.

I think we paid something like 7 bucks for a 50 pound bag... But we're also not in the dallas area
