I found another place to get chicks. D&L AgMart on Hwy 380.  They have chicks right now too.  I forgot they were there.  I used to buy dog food there too.  They get their chicks from Ideal. 


Is that the one in Denton??
I was going to check out the d&l in denton soon.
I'm thinking about getting chicks in yhe next few weeks, so by the time theyre ready for the coop it's warmer out, but not too hot.

No, this is the McKinney store. They have several locations. This one is by Napa Auto Parts on Hwy 380.
 
A few things that can interfere with starting to lay/decrease laying in birds that already lay (not an all-inclusive list):

Stress (which can be caused by all kinds of things)
Bugs/germs - lice, mites, worms, other illnesses
Decreased daylight during the winter
Crazy weather patterns stressing birds
Too much fat in the abdomen

I find that there are times that some of my birds lay start laying once they are with a male and get mated.  For some a few have needed that sex stimulus to get going.  Other things that people swear can get laying going is feeding peppers, including cayenne pepper in food, and feeding sprouted oats.

We'll the rooster thing won't happen, but I can definitely do peppers! I'm going to stick a fake egg in the nest. Who knows??
 
The peeps have had their bedtime story, and their big sisters have said their prayers. We're settling in for a quiet evening of reading and maybe a little football, and will probably be sound asleep before midnight.

But we hope to wake up in 2014, and wish y'all a Happy New Year!
 
Last night I left the restaurant early, only 10pm, so crowded, just to walk the beach. But it was so crowded too, people everywhere, motorbike swamped the parking lot. Many restaurants had guards keeping people out as their places were already overloaded. Midnite was coming.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
 
As we near the end of the Year of the Snake (and we enter the year 2014), I have been gifted with a lucky little fellow.

400


This lucky little guy survived three days in an aquarium with two hungry snakes. He's malnourished (having only eaten small seeds from some cockatiel food) but he's unharmed and he's got a whole lot of spunk. I hope he is a good representation of the year 2014.

I wish you all a very happy New Year!
 
Umm all I know is that I'm sick of the clutter, 2car garage with a tandem so basically a 3 car garage and not an inch of it for a car. I've been in this house for two yrs and there are boxes in the garage that have never been opened. Ugh


We had the same problem! We decided to open and put away/throw away/donate / and/or recycle one box a day each, so basically 2 boxes a day minimum. If we missed a day we made it up the next day. If we hadn't used it in a year or two we got rid of it!!! :D Our garage was clean in no time. Life is too short to be weighed down by 'stuff'. Especially 'stuff' in boxes that you haven't seen or used in who knows how long.
