Bought 6 silkie chicks that were born May 1st. 4 turned out to be roosters. I'm trying to find a new home for 3 of them. They are very tame, healthy and beautiful birds. I want to make sure they are going to a good home. They are from a top breeder here in Texas.

I'm a 1947 model and still going strong (Lord willing)! Old models were made to last. New models a lot of flash & dash but no substance.

Welp disappointed with label for that Purina Gamebird feeder conditioner. I do like the crumble size and the young Blue sumatra seem to be liking it. Really 19% crude protein wish TSC was web savvy enough to put those labels on the site or in the specifications. They list this as a high protein flight conditioner. Also $9+ for ship to store now?

I'm going to have to check out @RebelChief 's feed store recommendation near the BRO airport.

https://www.chewy.com/bluebonnet-feeds-poultry-maintenance/dp/251843 looks to be alright after I go through this current 100# I just picked up. It exceeds the 24% I was feeding before.

Texas related news:
Someone just posted pictures to DW's local wildlife FB page of a family of three roosting Harris Hawks. Seems way early in the season for that migration/overwinter threat to be happening. I have too many silkies now for haircuts. Maybe I will just cut the hens hair and hope the roosters get culled this season. Nothing is a threat to my sumatras they are exellent at avoiding predation. I have Obvious Sumatra cockerels in this latest lot and the silkie roosters are only good for making fertile eggs.

Hey um I’ve already asked this before, but someone recommended it again, but if anyone has any hens up for sale, I’m all ears!

Well, as Tejas is such a large territory, might be wise to at least narrow it down to a regional area? I mean sheesh, AllenK & I are about 10 hrs apart? (Hold on goes to open the map app on phone).... Okay not quite... About 8 1/2 hrs apart, straight south. A drive from up here in DFW out to El Paso is just as long. So, given that we don't need you addy but, something to narrow it down a tadbit would really help - "know what I mean Vern?"

No hard feelings, right?

Craigslist can be a good resource. Buy sell Trade here on BYC also is a forum topic.

Hmmm a "Nothing Sam'mich" or a Nothing Burger?

If you're near Houston, the HSPCA has a group of Rhode Island Reds up for adoption. Some nice looking rooster too.
