These 2 showed up at our fence this afternoon. 2 of our neighborhood families (kids too) helped us catch these 2 so they didn't end up as racoon or eagle food by morning. The pictures aren't that great as they were nervous & my hens weren't all that nice to them. Looking through the breeds the Langshan looks pretty close. When they were up & walking around they carry their tails up pretty high. (Copy & pasted this part & it made it blue & underlined it, weird).

Anyone near LakeRidge Middle School missing their chickens?







This one above we weren't able to get our hands on, this one just went to the neighbors low side of our fence (their driveway is level with our fence) & it just hopped over into our yard.







With the curly tail I was thinking roo but once my hubby got his hands on this one I don't see any saddle feathers, has a small crown & no spurs. Both seem to have the same dark leg color & the same upright build. Much lighter build then my Barnie, Cookoo Marans, SLW.

Anything I should know about switching chicken food? I have been using the cheapest brand I could get my hands on of Purina/Nutrena grower, but today I decided spur of the moment to switch to flock raiser. It was $20 for a 50lb bag, but I've heard that since it has so much protein in it they will eat a bit less of it? Anyway, my question is whether or not I should switch cold turkey whenever their other feed runs out or if I should mix it in gradually, kinda like changing over a mammal's food, like cats and dogs? Thanks in advance!

Boy y'all are awfully quiet tonight! What happened to our active night crew? Gee whiz I had to go on leave for a little bit and now the WA thread has fallen apart! :gig I knew it! If y'all had more ducks then this wouldn't have happened!!
 
I seem to have made a BIG I mean VERY BIG mistake today. See since we went to Longview I decided to go check out the all new Wilco Farm supply Mistake. I allowed DW to go in with me bigger mistake.I really like the store and all the wide selection of things. One stop shopping (Well almost). And then the HUGEST mistake of the day........ going over to check out the chicks. The chicks were all BOGO. I thought I was doing good. See I have always wanted chocolate eggers. Lucky me today they were out.
