They are eating it that is for sure, lol, where normally they'd be slinging their food all over the place this they are not and I am going through a bunch of it.. I have hanging feeders plus they get some tossed in the run.

He's doing fine, I've lost his original girlfriends, all but the wingettes. But they and the others I bought to round out his harem are doing well. Thinking come spring I might get a few more to add in. Keep some fresh blood in the group. Of course that is going to depend on if I keep my...

it's been about 1.5 months now, last time I thought I was having a major decrease, I found where the smarties had made a hidden nest, I've since blocked all places (at least I believe I have) where they could be hiding the eggs. I picked up a couple of bags of Hearty Hen yesterday 18% protein...

Her being down is normal, chickens are flock animals, you could if you can move the dog crate to inside the run, that way they still see each other, but the others can't get to her, I call mine the look but don't touch, I use it when introducing new chicks/chickens to the flock and had to use it...

Are they pecking at her when she's on the roost bar? Watching your video, I didn't see one in the run, if they are not pecking her when she's on it at night, I don't know how much having another would help, I had one hen who's favorite past time was plucking feathers from the other hens and...

We've got enough trouble with "city" people, everyone is bailing out of CA because of the politics over there. I have no issue with them bailing, just them bailing from what they don't like and then trying to turn AZ in to what they just left.

Don't have a clue as to why it's called Rooster Booster, but this is something you might consider to help stop them...

Trying to remember when it was, but there were people wanting to put in lighted billboards, it was fought and defeated as the light pollution would interfere with the enjoyment of the night sky..

That sounds wonderful.. I've not sat out under the star's in a long time, going to have to do that again. :)

I'm not sure what breed it is, it was the closest picture I could find to my black sexlinks, which is what I had when I first joined BYC.

they are beautiful, love it on a full moon, you can almost drive without your lights on. I've got a friend who lives off 93 I like it out there.

Howdy Neighbor :) , Welcome to the Valley, we've been here for over 5 years now, west end off Egar.

Not making a pet out of him, just trying to insure that he sticks around, I'd much rather have a snake that takes care of the dangerous ones, than walk out one day and get bitten... what I'd like to put a end too is the damned piss ants, their all in the coop and the run.. waiting for my duster...

Currently 92, 10PM in AZ, hit 117 according to our thermometer today..🥵
