Chickens Update
Feeding
You should be mixing fat items bacon grease, coconut oil or buttermilk. It should be a "mushy" consistency. This will require you to check the feed more often because the bird tend to not be attracted to the hard old feed. You may want to top with gro-gel or mealworms to help make them want to eat it.
I will be at the project center on Wednesday from 9-10am, if you would like me to help you mix your feed.
Culling
You should have around 18-15 birds. Please let me know if you need help with culling.
If you dispose of your birds at the project center. Please be sure they are not moving when you put them in the blue dumpster and they are in a tied plastic grocery bag.
Pen Space & Shavings
Your bird should be basically using your entire pen. Please keep your shavings clean!
