I get the guys point though…he will get proof that you received it. There are some a$@hats out there that would claim never to get it and start some issues. At least you know it is there and ready for you.
I can grab a 50# bag of layer at my local mill for $13. And they put it in the truck for me. Only thing is it’s not pelleted but my birds like it just fine
I like putting mine on puppy pads for the first day or two. Makes it easy to see if anything is wrong with their poo. Then they graduate to shavings or are sold if I’m not keeping thrm.
That is definitely odd. We have close to 50 hens and 3 roosters, and I’ve only had a handful of clears in all my hatches this year. One egg was a girl just coming off her molt, but the last few of hers I set were fertile.
Sold the last 24 in this batch today. Currently have 52 eggs going. Planning to keep the 8 silkies to start breeding them next year, rest of the EE mixes going to a local farmer who wants them all.
Hatch day here as well! I have 29 so far, one internally Pipped, one externally Pipped, and two that are either DIS or malpositioned. Will candle them again once the two Pipped have hatched. All eggs left moved to small incubator so I can load up the 360 when hub gets back w my eggs. 😊
