Feed store called earlier this afternoon so I could pick out my RIB's. Purchased a 40lb bag of Nature's Best Organic Chick starer/grower will mill date of March 31, 2025 from TSC. Brought them home and finished setting up my coop and brooder inside. Filled it with pine pellets, feed, heat plate, waterer with electrolytes. Closed the awning windows to keep out the breeze.
