    All my chicks died

    Sorry for your losses. If you can give more information, more help will be likely. Are they fertile eggs from your flock? Did you have eggs shipped to you? Did you pick up eggs from a local seller? What breeds were the eggs? Did you candle the eggs to see if they were developing? Or were the...

    Completely lost on what to feed my chickens

    I feed my chickens Eggland's Best Starter/Grower feed which has 19% protein and I feed to all my chickens regardless of age as I never know when a hen will go broody and hatch out chicks. I order mine from Chewy.com and it autoships based on when I need it. I don't keep any boys past 14-16 weeks...

    How many eggs minimum daily for a roadside farm stand?

    Do you live on a busy enough road? If I saw a stand that had something I wanted or needed and it was empty I would try again but that is me personally. If you are comfortable leaving your phone number on a note in the farm stand that if the eggs are gone to get on a list for the next batch...

    How many eggs minimum daily for a roadside farm stand?

    I think that you do what is easiest in getting rid of excess eggs for you. If you have someone to buy/take them do that first, if there are extra then put them out on the stand. Or try the stand and see how it goes. Kinda the way farm stands are, in the summer here sometimes they are empty by...
