Check with your feed store (not TSC). If they don't have it in stock they can probably order it for you. I've seen fish meal several times at the one we go to.

Ok, I've got to go tomorrow to get some alfalfa for the old mares, so I'll check with them. The guy at Livengood thinks his stuff is it, but there is a difference between fish meal and fish food!

How long does a hen go between egg 1 and the last one she lays when she goes broody? I stuck an egg under my broody today and she has been sitting strong since mon/tues

Eta: I've been sticking eggs under her since. She's got 5.

After your post, I had to check my marker. Found myself on the rio grand, LOL. I live 20 miles from the Arkansas stateline. So I may have just burst your bubble. Sorry.

Haha! We're only about 23 miles from the TX/LA state line, so I don't know... Let's call it a tie.

I thought you lived in Corpus Christi! Where is Copperas Cove?

***ADVICE NEEDED****

We have a 16 week old EE pullet that has suddenly started acting weird. She has been fine all day but around 6:00 she started walking with her wings away from her body, her neck feathers are fluffed and all she wants to do is lay under the bush. She has not layed yet but some of our other girls have. They did not act anything like this prior to their first egg. Has anyone seen anything like this? Our girls free range from 8:00 AM until they put themselves to bed. Any help would be welcomed.

Is she overheated? If something happened that made her run around or panic for some reason, she might have not been able to cope with the heat build up from the exertion.

Overheated is what comes to my mind as well

Sounds like the heat is getting to her. My birds always hold their wings out like that when it gets really hot and she's taking refuge under the bush to try and escape the sun/heat. Just make sure she has plenty of shade and access to fresh clean water.
