    Molting Question

    Is anyone aware of any correlation of molting and breed? Do some breeds molt more or less, for longer or shorter than others? Just curious.

    How to DIY no roost for buckets?

    That's cheaper than the rent a coop hats...thanks for posting it. I have tried several things, currently using open top hanging feeders which suck when it rains. (but they are easier to fill)

    Feeding late at night instead of early morning?

    I let mine out to the pasture every morning but only feed in the evening. They do go in and out of the coop all day and have water 24/7 but I lock them out in late afternoon. That way I can fill hanging feeders, top off oyster shell, gather eggs, do small rearrangements & repairs safely and...

    2025: What worked and what didn't?

    I have looked into the White -faced Black Spanish. They are listed as a heat resistant breed. Seeing as you are in Florida, that is helpful as I am in Louisiana. I usually use Ideal & Mt.Healthy Hatcheries but neither is offering Spanish chickens in 2026. I am still angry at Hoover's for...

    2025: What worked and what didn't?

    As I plot and plan for 2026, I am evaluating this past year. Breed(s) that didn't work out: Brown Leghorns=I thought wow! not as noticeable to predators but lay like white leghorns? nope.
