Three standard size cockerels for sale to good homes. I have two true Araucana roosters and one Easter Egger Ameraucana. The Araucana's are both pure bred birds but not show quality. They are rumpless and tuftless with willow shanks ($25 each). They have a lot of yellow and red on their...

That's how mine is right now and I use a large spoon with holes in it to drain most of the fermented water out. Chickens like it fine.

Mine is inside. I'm still kickin'! :)

What a treasure you all are.

I use it because I don't have any wood ash. (pretty much a permanent burn ban in my area) I don't feed it to my hens, though.

Thank you for the suggestions! I was so bummed when I saw it last night. Poor little thing. She is such a sweet little bird.

Oops sorry for the double post.

I didn't think I did, but I have a young guy who was born this spring that has been trying out his skills and I wonder if her got to her. She is way smaller than him. The other thing I was thinking was that perhaps a hawk got her and started to take a bite when one of my roosters scared it off...
