    bedding

    Thanks, sounds good, I am keeing them in a large pet cage, plastic tray bottom and wire on the top and sides. To clean, I detach the plastic bottom and throw away the stuff, then re-assembly. If straw is ok, then its for free, because I can pick my own in minutes and let it dry (already have it...

    which breeds are good hot summer layers?

    hello, just to confirm, by "handle the summers" you mean they keep laying eggs through the summer heat, or you mean just not dying of stroke?

    which breeds are good hot summer layers?

    Hi, We get mild winters and hot summers in my area. I tend to have low summer egg production, but non-stop from October to May/June. What breeds could I add that you have experience to keep laying during summer heat waves?

    Can I Free-Range with Avocado Trees on Property???

    I see from the answers that it safe, but will the chicken tend to ignore or eat the fruit in the tree? I have some trees (not yet producing fruit), so need to know this, because I would like to eat the fruit myself and not having the chicken steal them.

    What colors from crossing Bresse x Maline
