It's in the back of my car, going back Monday. I went out of my way to get this and now I'll have to go out of may way to take it back. It wont be pretty trust me. In the mean time I found a Tractor Supply with in reasonable distance that carries everything you could want on a regular basis and has helpful and friendly employees that make you feel like your needs big or small matter.

I started using TSC also. I started using Flock Raiser since I have ducks also. One feed is a lot cheaper than several feeds. I also offer oyster shells & grit on the side that they can have when they want it. That have been very helpful here. I always stand up when I know something is working for my girls. They depend on me. Good luck when you take the feed back.
 
Hey! Got two new silkies today! Paint ones at that! One bearded and one non bearded.

As for the medicated feed, I made the decision to not use it with my first hatch last month and did the same this month. So far I have not lost the first chick. I was afraid I had messed up last month because all it did was rain and stay wet and humid. It was very damp and moist conditions. What I have been doing in my brooder is putting a layer of shavings about 3/4 across the bottom and then soil from my yard the remaining 1/4. My chickins free range a lot so my thinking was that this soil has been exposed and I introduce it to the chicks from day one naturaly. They love it, bypassing the feed at first to go straight to that soil and scratch around. Everybody I sold chicks to has remarked how healthy and strong they have been. I'll do the same until I see a need to do otherwise.

I wonder if you could put a small piece of sod in there too....you know with some grass. Would that work? You could even change it out with a new piece after they eat it all up. (Like the back of my yard!!!) LOL
 
Wahooo my first egg....okay technically it is my white EE Flossie's first egg...but as her Mama I count it as mine to :) It's so small it does not register on my nifty neat egg scale I won, but I know they will get bigger as she comes in to her own. It is a pretty Easter green. Soooo eggggcited

I love your coop!
 
Thanks I'm so excited about our first egg. Flossie is a good girl. My husband laughs when I pat my knee and call my hens they will hop up like a dog. They are sweet an happy and I am so glad I took on the world of chickens from scratch this January. :)
