New Chickens

[ninnymary]

OMGosh!!!!!! @ninnymary your coop is so so cute...I could never sit hear my coop. You couldn't hear someone talking next to you.

Thank you. There is a very pretty chandelier inside. People coming to see it on the coop tour always rave about it and tell me and other's it's the prettiest one. I love color and because of my preschool, everything has to always be the best. Parents are very selective and you need to do what it takes to beat your competition. So my chickens and garden are a big hit. So is the inside of my home and my program.

Got a link? You are talking about "certified organic".

It's up to you to know what the label really means, people would be surprised at a lot of that. Certain labels do have specific legal meanings, some don't. A lot of the public have some pretty strong misconceptions about what those labels really mean.

I'm not into certified organic myself. As someone else kind of said on here, organic is a way of life, not a set of rules.

Link? You can see their semis backed up at local coop loading corn and taking it to their facilities. Anything you buy that is labeled organic is by government (with aid of organic community) standards. There is a loop hole in there that IF you can't buy organic, you can feed them anything. Farmers can use non-organic seed as well.

Mary, I cam close to mentioning your coop over on the chicken forum this morning, but decided not to respond to that post about painting coops. Yours is absolutely gorgeous, just as I would expect from you.

Mary how much do a dozen organic eggs sell for near you? Here they sell anywhere from $5 to $8 a dozen

Yes, but chickenfeed is $10.00 +/50 pound bag, so you have to factor that in, too, to your $egg.
Still, it's nice to save up the 7 dozen eggs I need for HD/colored & deviled eggs for the church breakfast and our Own Easter celebration.

Thank you Ridge. Are the people on that site against painting coops?

Not at all. Just like on here, people have different opinions. You see some really nicely decorated coops over there and you see some like mine that could be called rustic if you wan to be nice.

I understand some of you are paying a decent premium for non-GMO feed. @ducks4you at $10/50# that is for bagged layer mash from local mills, correct?

I know I am anal on this subject, forgive me, but how do you know it is non-GMO? Here in Indiana, we run tests for GMO (in those markets) and some companies label their non-GMO hybrids as "Not for use in Non-GMO markets).

If you want to know IF you are receiving what you pay for, let me know. I'll see where closest testing facilities are at for you.
