Hello everyone. How's everybody? Been very busy for the past few weeks so i had backread but i think i can still catch up.
Congrats jimmy on your new chicks. How are they doing?
My chooks are having health issues. One of my jg roo died and the hens looks ill too. I wonder if what's going on...
Thanks jimmy. It makes me feel sad that 2 died but i have 8 alive so i am still thankful.
I have more eggs and put some under another broody hen. My brother is thinking of making an improvised bator. He just love my chickens bec they are very huge compared to our native chooks.

This little guy didn't make it.
Thanks @Mercilless. I am excited to see my EE's egg but i think she isn't on POL stage yet. Same as my leghorn. I am hoping to have at least 2 more egg colors added to my basket :) so far, the eggs i'm collecting varies from pink to light tan to light brown. I get some speckled eggs once in a...

Happy independence day everyone...
All is going well aside from my smelly backyard! Lol it's been raining here for the past few days and my backyard is always wet. i have to clean at least 3 times a day to make sure that poops go to the drainage.
My girls are still very productive and I am...
Thanks @anjovi6 for the update. Sounds like a good plan.
