I sold my California valley quail today, except 2 pairs. I figure I need to cut back on animals. Hoping we are not going to have a hard time getting feed.
Great New Cap how are the polish doing now growing great I hope
DH went out on Wednesday and stocked up on feed for me at the local Amish Feed Store that is under new management.
He gave my list to the young Amish woman who waited on him. She didn't know what layer pellets were.....but thought she could figure it out. DH said he just wanted to get out of Dodge so when he got home he had me look at the bags.
She sold him four bags of game bird finisher. Close but no cigar, I told him. He just shook his head and said that he knew he was in for a challenge when she said she had hen food but no layer pellets.
The first Amish store he went to, he asked for a bag of scratch grain and they tried to sell him oyster shell. He knew better than that and told them so.
They must think we just fell off the hay wagon!
No problem I told him with the game bird finisher. They would eat it or go hungry but in the light of not getting the layer pellets I could have probably used the oyster shell.
Time to grind up egg shells until I can get out and get some oyster shell......or 'hen food'.
God, I'm gonna miss Mr and Mrs Yoder, the old owners......They knew layer pellets from game bird finisher and oyster shell from scratch grains!

What an adventure ya I understand staying with the kids where we go they all know what is what worth it's weight in gold
Toilet paper be darned - I'm stocking up on animal feed.
Yes, they are all doing great!
I need to do that next week.
I bought 5 bags of chicken feed
Up here, the only shortages in the stores are stuff that is shipped up from Seattle... that those Seattle people hoarded.
So yeah, no toilet paper or rice.
But we have loads of animal feed...we only have 1 brand, and it is made in state.
