I survived work..ugh..I so do not like to work outside of the house. I am glad it is not a necessity with chicken sales at the fair.

I sure hope you do get to go to the chicken show..and yes they usually have outside sales and venders. You should be able to purchase some quality chickens.

I am gad your chicken is doing better BDM.

I forgot what else I was going to say.

It made me laugh like crazy as I realised how it sounded as I typed it. Hubby leaned over my shoulder to see what was up XD

Here is the video of the fermented feed I made. Comments welcome. This is for two little silkie chicks

Congrats !!  If they all hatch are you going to be selling any?  I will be looking for a few pullets this spring......no rooster here so no fertilized eggs for me. Id like to get a few more rocks.

I know that I'll be getting rid some. If you are looking for Barred Rocks, my uncle has 6 hens and a roo. I'll be incubating some of them in Feb. if you'd like eggs, I could get you some of them too. His roo is so very beautiful and huge. The ones I'm incubating right now will be crosses. My hens are EE's, BCM's, Silver Spangled Hamburgs and 1 Frizzle. My roo's are EE and BCM. As soon as I get rid of my turkeys, I'll be separating them so I can get full BCM. Just let me know when you are ready and we'll see what we have.

Thanks for the video!
My only coment would be is, you now need a bigger bowls. That was a lot of feed.

I think the problem is that the two containers are sized so that the top one fits all the way down in the bottom one and doesn't give you any space for a "well" below the top one and the holes might be a bit big...the feed will swell up a good deal so you might want to give a wee bit more swell room....your video is GREAT!!! And I am anxious for your little ones to come home with you! It's like waiting in a maternity room!!!

Yeah It was the only bowls I had on hand at that moment. Ill have to go hunting tomorrow(Payday) at the dollar store.

Ah Yes! The Dollar Store should have something that would work good!
