    No sure what she is!

    I think I’m leaning to the Australorp ....she’s not big enough to be a Minorca. She’s on the small side. She’s closer in side to my blue Andalusians.

    I believe she does have white earlobes. She’s super shy and it’s hard to get close to her.

    we ordered chicks from McMurray back in October. They sent us a bonus one. This girl is super pretty, a bit on the smaller side and very very black. So much so she looks iridescent in the sun! What is she?

    Devestation

    What stinks even more is, it's late here and we can't go out and get stuff(our tSC closes early) and we are leaving for PA in the early am! I just have to hope and pray my other gals will be ok with my mom until we get back. Then I will get a camera, and take other measures to hopefully prevent...

    Devestation

    Yes it did. Like I said previously. Where we placed the coop it backs up to a uncovered area of our yard. I need to get lights up back there! And yes I thought about a game camera. We have so many predators here I'm actually amazed that I have t had this devastation before now.

    Not far enough apparently! They got through in the one section that wasn't covered over with bricks or rocks of course. I don't know if it was coons. Don't they usually leave a blood trail?

    The hole wasn't big enough for them to wonder off from. It was seriously small. I think whatever it was pulled them out one by one and enjoyed a 15 course dinner Wow really?! I don't think one could have fit in this tiny hole. It's about the zip of my hand! Yikes! Sorry! Yea me thinking...

    Devestation

    Yes. All we gone. No sign of anything in the back woods behind the coop! No tracks, we even examined the fence to see if we could see fur pulled off, nada. It's crazy! I've never heard of anything taking that many at once! I don't know what to do now. We threw some heavy rocks around the...

    Chickens dying randomly

    The latest one was a gold sex link, she was about 3 years old. The other was a EE and about 2. Those were my pure breeds. Most of my others are "barn yard specials". As I have a rooster and let hens go broody. I have switched out roosters 3 in 3 years. They have a diet of tractor supply...

    Letting flock reproduce

    Oh good point about degrading the quality! My birds are pretty that have grown and hatched for sure. Our roosters is our 3 in so many years so so far so good with that(our first died, second one to mean). I don't doesn't birds only eggs and I don't care if I get a few less eggs a day ;)
