Ive only ever had one egg eater and she was caught in the act. Others will clean up a dropped or broken egged, but never touch any others. Ive lucked out on that

Dumor is made by Purina bagged for tractor supply need some ours in Morton has it think the tsc in centralia actually has it so does the little independent feed store in Chehalis

They do grind both brands at their mills, BUT, the DuMor recipe is far better....

Brim's Farm and Garden in Astoria. If they don't have it in stock, they will special order it for you.

Crimany..................I was just there again today and drove on by !!!!!!!

Penny that bird have hackle ? Looks like hackle on the neck cape to me ! Can't see the saddle but the comb looks cockerel to me also.
No females have hackle, anywhere on their bodies.

I definitely have a place to put it in downtown Cle Elum.

Please insert quotes so we know what you are referring to......and I am gonna assume you are referring to starting a co op feed ?
Next q is: Do you know there is/was an Eastern WA thread ?
You may get alot more peeps on that thread to go in with you on bulk feed.
I have no silos or way to store bulk, so I deal with bags.

so tell me who of all is laying the small green eggs and my others are accounted for with eggs as this is main coop... the twin was judged a cockerel real early tghis was not did not get red till recently????

That is the mystery only you can answer !

None of what I write next really applies to this here, it just got me thinking.


Spurs don't always mean rooster. I had a silver ameraucana hen with half inch spurs. Granted hens don't normally grow them until more mature except for specific breeds.

Just as lack of spurs doesn't mean hen. My silkie roosters do not grow spurs.

This boy is almost three

I have had a few hens grow spurs, small needle-like ones...never heard one crow, and never seen hackle on a hen

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

A deer, a skunk, and a giraffe walk into a bar and order drinks. The deer says, "I can't pay for mine, I have no dough." The skunk says, "I can't pay for mine, I don't have a cent." The giraffe says, "That's alright, boys, the high balls are on me."

Why did the chicken cross the road? To see his friend Gregory, peck.

Why did the chicken go to church? Because he wanted to be a bird of pray.

Never had hackles but had a silkie hen who crowed. She only did it when they were trying to convince me to give them treats
