ok I love that area!! Ask if your local feed could add 10% soybean meal protein which will boost-but not over boost-your feed (16oz soybean to 6qt layer feed)
We get ours from our Utica local feed, made fresh every day and the girls LOVE it. It's layer feed & 16% but I add soybean meal protein...
ooo sorry didn't know. What about putting an ad around ya'll? Perhaps that'll get some attention and folks would help. We love south of you or I could deliver them.
What other animals do ya'll have in addition to the chickens on your farms? What other animals do ya'll want?
We have 2 dogs and 26 laying pullets (aquatic turtle just died)
We want to expand our chickens & add goats and cows for milk, butter, cheese
nice, not bad at all. We've got a large spread (15acres) but only have access to 7. Just got a barn for the girls so they all have more space. 12×20, looks still too small but a great improvement.
get VETERICYN and isolate the hurt ones until they are fully healed. No matter how this or what happened, this will prevent any more damage.
they are pecking each other due to girls losing feathers. If there are any differences with any of them, the group focuses on that. We had horribly severe...
