[QUOTE="wayne86, post: 465530, member: 7897"] You are going to think I'm crazy (not as crazy as taking one to the vet to get stitches lol), but I show chickens all over the country. At any given time I will have between 60 and 250 chickens during hatching season. I just recently got my American Poultry Association judging license. I've been showing since I was 12 and I'm 28 now. Chickens can be a lot of fun. Between offroading and chicken shows I could be gone every weekend. I think you have already done your research and have a good plan in tact. If the birds are younger than 4 months I would say feed them the 20% protein "grower/starter" feed. After that the layer pellets (16% protein) will be fine. If they are out running in the yard you shouldn't have to worry about oyster shells or grit. That helps grind their food up in the crop. Your kids will love them. Especially the first time they lay an egg. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
