    Hedemora Thread

    My Hedemora roo has done great in the midwest climate. It has gotten nearly to 100 degrees several times and he was fine. My Americauna on the other hand doesn't handle the heat very well at all.

    Sick rooster

    I was suspecting that he may have eaten something bad. He ate some columbine yesterday. I looked it up and it is poisonous to chickens. Thanks for the advice. Now to find some activated charcoal.
