    Feed Protein level confusion

    When I read the group rules it specifically said we weren’t allowed to even mention the word “all flock”.

    Kalmbach Feeds All Natural 20% Protein Flock Maker Pellets Chewy?

    Where are you located that your feed is so expensive?? I pay $22.99 for Kalmbach gamebird and 24.99 for Kalmbach henhouse reserve. TSC is always more expensive, but that seems outrageous!

    1 week old peachicks w/photos

    Going back to the very first bird I posted a pic of (IB/white gene)…this bird is surprising me in the changes of just two weeks. I’m seeing spalding now. The white flights have some brown areas on them now. The feet are grey green. And the crest is a tight upright plume. Thoughts on color? The...

    Feed Protein level confusion

    I had one assist I had to do this year and it was a spalding. Curled toes only thank goodness, but positioned funny in the egg. I mostly raise chickens, so when they said the protein level caused wry neck I was confused, because like you I just give Vit E. to my chickens if they experience that...

    They claimed it causes wry neck and leg problems. My chicks aren’t on the ground outside, but they aren’t in a small brooder either. So I guess that’s why I haven’t seen any issues. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you for your input though. I appreciate it 😊

    Feed Protein level confusion

    So I should switch to gamebird? Is there a recommendation for brand? All I’m seeing is pheasant or gamebird/turkey. I was confused back when I started and spoke to the people at kalmbach and they told me the turkey/gamebird was correct. It’s a bit confusing the way they name their feeds. The...

    Feed Protein level confusion

    Ive been feeding kalmbach turkey starter feed 28% to my peachicks for the last few years. Today I joined a group on FB that declared peachicks shouldn’t have anything more than 18% protein. Have the guidelines changed for some reason? Thanks😊

    Hatching Time Incubators? Opinions?

    I have a hatching time incubator/hatcher. I love it. Temps and humidity are always within .1 of the additional temp/humidity sensors I use. With chickens I have a 95% hatch rate. This year I only had 2 blood rings out of over 200 eggs I set. And that was most likely because the eggs had been...
