    Why no worms?

    I concur with Covidtime Quail, it took longer than I thought it would for a nice supply of worms, and then I had hundreds. I had worms just about until the first snowfall, then they really tapered off. Now that spring has sprung, I expect to start the process again as I have noticed several...

    The video you provided was exceptionally informative - Thank you for posting it. I believe it was an intact follicle based on the information provided. I had already disposed of the items in question. Excellent response to my question.

    Which breeds have you had good egg production from?

    Our Leghorn, obviously named "Foghorn" is a lover. Has not started with the eggs yet, but sure enjoys the human "touch" and the goodies.

    New Chick ID

    Here are two additional photographs. The first is the same chick. The second chick, or the darker one, is from the same batch. Hope this helps.

    New Chick ID

    The one on the left is a leghorn, and the chick on the right is a buff orpington (sp?), but I would like to know the breed of the gal in the middle. About two weeks old. Enjoying them, just waiting for them to grow up so I can try out the new coop.
