Hello BYC fam,
I hope I am posting on the correct thread because I have 2 separate yet intertwining questions.
Question #1:
I was wanting some recommendations on good egg layers to add to my small flock.
I currently have 2 Rhode Island Red Hens and 1 Rhode Island Red Rooster… now that may...
So I have a 3 year old indoor splash cochin and she is my absolute baby:love. I always try my best to make sure she is staying as healthy as possible but theres no limits to improvement. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for better food than the one I’m using for her now...
You guys helped me out last time I had a goat related question! Thank you!
My goats:
Three doelings ages from 8-11 months old
One wether 8 months old
All of them have been getting 2 cups of Purina Goat Grower in a communal trough.
Since they will be a year old soon, and I plan on breeding and...
Purina has made it a point to not list or provide images of the ingredients in the Organic Starter Grower Crumbles. It's not on their site, Amazon, Tractor Supply, or Google, anywhere! Just complaints from people that it's not listed. I find that a bit shady. Why would a company intentionally...
Feed your backyard flock. Purina Flock Raiser Crumbles provide complete and balanced nutrition for healthy flocks and baby birds. Sustain an entire mixed flock of poultry, including starting and growing hens, roosters, ducks, and geese Purina Flock Raiser Crumbles is also for turkeys, pheasants...
Anyone else have this problem??? Recently (for like the past few months maybe ??? Not really sure), some of the Purina feeds have ZERO dates on them anywhere!! Including the kind I usually buy! Meanwhile, their other feeds have dates as does Nutrena and most of the Dumor ones.
The issue seems...
My 4-Hers have golden sexlinks, black sexlinks, and red sexlinks, that they get through the Chick Chain each year. They have has as many as 60 birds. They have 47 right now. They sell the eggs and this money is used for spending as well as college/"flying the coop" savings. A year ago we...
As of the start of the new year, my girls have been picking up the pace and laying reliably. I'm getting 4-5 eggs a day from about 8-10 active layers (a few unknown. They laid last year but have not done so yet as of 2019).
Conveniently or not, they finished the last of their layer feed today as...
So I have two female rouen ducks, and two male emden geese. Right now they are all on Purina Flock Raiser, but when the ducks start laying eggs, do I keep them all on purina flock raiser and supply oyster shells? Or so I put them on the purina layena. I don’t really have a way to separate them...
Hello! In January I inducted myself into the world of poultry ownership when I bought my first chickens - thirteen Ameraucanas & one Golden Laced Wyandotte! Today, they are nine weeks old and have gone through three different feeds. So I’ve been wondering, what is the best feed for them...
ever since I switched, because of their incredibly thin eggshells I had to give them oyster supplemented food. My chichkens are not fond of the switch. I used to give them oyster shells and grit in separate dishes on the side, but they never touched it. I used to feed them organic. Any...
I just opened a new bag of Purina Flock Raiser and it is different looking from what I have been feeding for 3 years. The color is darker. Date on bag is Feb 6, so it's barely over a month old. And my chickens and chicks are not loving it as they have loved previous batches. This is what I...
Posting an Ayam Cemani chick for sale:
She (I'm not certain of gender but do lean towards) goes along with a waterer, feeder (both hold a quart) and a partially used bag of Purina Medicated Chick Starter.
If there is any need for delivery I can do so, or meet you at any location.
Has been...
Hey y’all! I am a first time chicken owner of 9 beautiful birds. (2 dark Brahmas, 2 ameracuanas, 2 blue laced Wyandottes, 2 buff Orpingtons, and once white silkie) and I am slightly concerned about their water intake, like all babies they are MESSY and I dump there shaving filled water about 5/6...
