Martha - By 'flyer' I assume you mean 'seed list'? Al Kapuler is a plant breeder, but not a marketer. Like you, it's a bare-bones world I'm not particularly comfortable with. If you need more information on plants, write and ask him. At $2.50 a packet, I'm going to buy a few and grow them out.

You know, I almost didn't get the barred rocks. I wasn't exactly shopping for that breed, and to me they had a 'mean eye'. I thought that I was being ridiculous. Now, 2 days later, I realize I should have gone with intuition (but when do we ever listen to ourselves?) What I'm hoping for is the

Steve, you're so nice to spend the time to do this. I will ponder. I can't imagine finding enough ramial wood chips in this land of fir, larch, pine, cedar hemlock. They cut the softwood and leave the hardwood--birch, alder, cottonwood and others. I just wanted to establish the benefits of

My own chickens eat my horse pellets like everything else around here. Expensive but nonmedicated. These new ones were on a (medicated) grow mash and hen scratch. I bought chopped corn and tried to get unmedicated grower feed. I ended up having to get game bird starter and paid a whopping

I've never been overly concerned about my chicken feed. They eat probably better than any other critter here. I'll see about Muenster's poultry rations, though. I DID solve the problem about my (new arrivals) cannibal pullets. A friend wanted 2 - 3 new hens, and has an established flock. no
