Howdy All!
I only posted once on Bee's thread, as I was always trying to catch up and keep up the reading. And with this new thread, I find myself still doing the same.
Same here. I got to the end of the road less traveled and it was shut down 2 days later. I took before pics and wanted to post after pics when ready..as it takes a while to correct mistakes the natural way. Slower results but far lasting since the source/cause of the problem is corrected instead of quick fix.
I started the FF almost 2 weeks ago, and my egg count has been dropping. I'm not sure if it is due to the shorter days, or if they girls are protesting the changes. I used to keep pellets in their coops all the time, and now feed them 2 times a day. They are piggies, and I haven't seen any drop in their intake of the FF, as of yet. What do you think it is? My DH is certian it's the new FF. I think Solstace. Again...having same experience! What pigs...especially my 2 BO hens. The largest has ff coated on her comb and waddles and the other BO circles the ff like a shark. Trusting the wisdom I have read on the other threads that consumption will drop.
Thank you BDM for keeping this thread alive, and hoping to see the OT on here too. It's a major crying shame that both threads are locked!
A HUGE LOSS not have these threads. The years of knowledge from the OTs and BK is a big loss for a newbie like me. I am so puzzled as to why anyone feeling "offended " didn't just move on elsewhere. Loads of threads on here to suit different ideas about chicken keeping. And plenty on these 2 particular threads to implement what works for you personally according to flock size, space and climate. Nobody was forcing you to do these things! Or believe their own beliefs or even purchase a sweet cute pink incubator.
I really still don't understand what happened.
So thanks for starting this thread. I really did LOL early on when a certain someone came back several times to proclaim she would not follow the thread.....and kept posting about it. Us wee humans make me laugh, even at myself.
I sure miss hearing from Mumsey Johnny tales. And other good stories from all around the world (even Thailand) regarding best practices and able to get great tried/true advice how to keep improving. Aoxa hope you wont be shy about posting some beautiful pics here. My little Florida girl would love love to see your chickens around any snow.
thanks all.
And stony if aoxa puts some great pics out we will try to oohhh and ahhh without quoting all of them and dragging the thread out!!!
kinda sorta promise!!
As you can see I am still learning how to post and quote
