I am sooooo excited! My second batch of Kardosh Standard Bronzes came in
yesterday and they are all 46 alive and doing well! I went for a double
batch this month. 22 came in last month, 18 are still growing like weeks
and one month old tomorrow on the 21st! Harry Shah over at CalicoWoods sure
does hatch nice poults. Wow, the one month olds are at least ten times the
size of these newborns - its amazing seeing just how much they have grown! I
mash lots of fresh hardbolied egg yolks into their 24% mash to raise the
protein, and add brown sugar to the new arrivals water for 2 weeks to aid in
overcoming shipping stress. I can't wait till they are ready to swarm over
the pasture and devour bugs, that will be a sight to see on this old farm.

Many Blessings to your flocks!
