YES! Not months—WEEKS. OY! My brain is mush.
It hit the 90's today and it was humid as hell! I sold 4 Guineas , which is always nice, but wish the other two people that were supposed to come by had come by!
My Modern and OEGs are ready to be outside and I have no place to put them. The 27, now 26 Red Stars are in the Shanty Shack……….the 7 Keets and two Poults are in their own dog run with shelter. The other two poults and five keets are not ready to be outside, yet. The Frizzle cochins are old enough, but no place to put them unless I put them out with the Red stars. They are all the same age so I think that is what I'll do tomorrow.
I candled the peafowl eggs and can't tell if they are alive or not. Some of the bobwhite eggs are definitely alive and kicking. Still have some turkey eggs and guinea eggs to candle.
If the weather continues hot and humid, my poultry sales will slow down substancially. That is what happened last year.
Thanks, Susan and Rhonda for keeping me straight. LOL!

Laura. LOL, I think you mean 20 or 24 weeks, not months. S.

I wouldn't change the 14 wk olds diet until closer to 20 months and possibly 24, depending on breed. The layer pellets have calcium, which they will need for egg laying, but until they are laying, I would continue with the chick feed. That's what I do, anyway.
