"Bummer... I hadn't been in a few months but they've been a favorite over the years. FYI, Clark's sells Onate feed. It's more expensive than the feed stores on Rio Bravo and 4th, but a good option in a pinch if you are in the…"

"I agree, total bummer! I'm not sure what happened, but I've heard they are not reopening. The Western Mercantile will now be carrying chicks and you can order them there as well. I think they will be taking over the chicken supplies for…"

Feed Store Closed

I don't know if anyone used T&C Feed Store off of Route 66 between Four Hills and Carnuel but it's closed and it doesn't look like it's going to open back up. Total bummer since it was the closest to my house and they sold Onate crumbles and wood shavings, chicks, chicken supplies, etc. Anyone know anything about it? Hate to see that happen.See More

"It's funny, I read somewhere about how easy chickens are to keep as pets and I find them just as complicated and time consuming as dogs and cats. Maybe I just have spoiled chickens. "

"I haven't tried the Pinless Peepers but we did reduce the amount of time the light is on. It's funny because the two BR's just rule the roost, one in particular. They are always together and the four other, 2 EE and 2…"

"I've heard that adding a ROOSTER to your flock will cutail agressive behavior between the hens. They benifit from have the agressive male to take control of the coop. Just ONE Rooster though, as two will likely, eventually, start fighting wiht…"

"You merely establish yourself at the top of the "pecking order"; they'll still peck all others lower on that order. No need for lights, just let them have a dark winter."

Eric Randall Peterson replied to Christy P's discussion Mean Girl Syndrome Going On in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers

"I agree with Nicole. We had the same problem with 3 of our older hens. We put the blinders on and it solved the problem. I tried taking them off after 2 months but they went back to their old ways . For now they are on indefinitely. Good luck and…"

Nicole Gramlich replied to Christy P's discussion Mean Girl Syndrome Going On in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers

"I've recommended these before and this seems perfect - pinless peepers. I had to get them for my girls and it mellowed them out soooo much. You would only need to put them on your aggressive girls and depending on what you feel is…"
