Cute cute cute! She has a great head full of feathers! Ok Michelle, remember our turkey starter saga? I realized today, I need food for these quail. Oh ya! Duh! So i go to get the turkey starter...not anywhere, asked my son, he says "I took it out of the car at chickenstock and set it by that lady". HAHAHA! So it must have gone sitting there, somewhere, in a gallon size jug. LOL! I did not bring it back.... I asked where, he says across from where we were standing. On the other side. Where the exhibition birds were. So I went to IFA to get Turkey starter. They only sell 50 pound bags. Then I bring it home open it up, and it is pellets! I look at the tag, it is turkey grower 22 percent. Not the 27 percent starter I thought I was buying. Grrr. So I ground some up and have given it to them, but what I better ask is will that be good enough or do I need to get some of the 27percent stuff? if so, another 50 pound bag. Lol. I just cannot get the "other poultry" category right lol !
Quote: I would keep the same feed. If you are worried add something to bring up the protein. Ground cat /dog food. Duckweed will bring it up, i think its about 35 % and its free. Or you could go out at night and catch worms, 50% protein. As soon as i let my chickens out at 6:00 am they run right by the food and wheat to find a wet spot of ground to look for night crawlers that are still out. some hens have got really good at finding them they have eaten a half dozen before i head back to my car to head for work.
Don't get discouraged!!! Hatching is definitely an emotional roller coaster sometimes, especially with shipped eggs, that can be downright depressing! It seems I remember a certain someone saying they were done with hatching last fall?? Lol, that's funny... I love those light brahmas, too, their colors are so striking! Oh, poor little thing! I have several right now, but I'm sure I'm too far away to be able to help you much... Wow, I knew they were small, I didn't know they were THAT small!! and CUTE!! Okay... one more thing I am going to sell which I am posting here and on the ID thread first, then they will go on craigslist and KSL... I have a pair of American White Bresse, they are a breeding pair, they are not related. They are both about 5 months old, the roo just started crowing and the pullet is POL, comb is getting pinker all the time. If you have not heard of them, they are a French meat bird, apparently kind of a delicacy. I would love to work with them, but I do not have the space to free-range them to grow them out and then finish them on corn like the French do to make them tasty, tasty lol... Anyone on BYC I will sell the pair for $40, on KSL I will ask $50. PM me if you are interested. I will post pics tonite when I can get to my home computer...
I am interested. Need to speak with DH and will get back to you ASAP.
I am leaving Friday afternoon for Sanpete county, so I can take Joybells chicken to her on my way down. I can't remember who has it though. My week is absolutely crazy leading up to me going out of town, so I am not sure I can pick it up from anywhere. Got a new listing that's been getting tons of showings, and a buyer who is in contract negotiations right now, along with all of the end of school year stuff.
