But I've recently seen a lot of people talk about how they...

    First egg from hen - not very tasty??

    Hi all, My birds free range, although they have been confined to their run the last week to let a food plot germinate (they were eating all the seeds). My Isa brown started laying, but when we tasted her egg(hard boiled), it was not great. My neighbors eggs taste amazing and his birds don’t...

    Looking for a "local"

    I was just referred by a neighbor to a local supply store that sells chicken feed. It's a mennonite run place and all the feed is made local. It's about $5 cheaper per 50 lb bag compared to my local TSC. I was looking to see if there was anyone near Yates County, NY who may have come across this...
