    That's good to know about the reading! We do read to our baby daily and she seems to love it. She loves books with textures she can feel and ones that have repeated lines or animals. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and What Do You Say Little Blue Truck have been favorites lately.

    What about butchering extra roosters for others?

    Idk how I missed this thread. I think it's a great idea if you figure out the logistics! Pardon me if someone already mentioned this, but the only thing that comes to mind as someone from a city with a rooster ban is that we have to get rid of cockerels/roosters BEFORE they crow so no one...

    Source for flaked (not chunked) oyster shell

    Hmm, that's not true in my experience. Purina's is made of oyster shell. DuMor oyster shell ingredients are oyster shell and calcium carbonate. Those are the most popular brands I see at Tractor Supply. Maybe it's different where you live though.

    Small Pet Select brand is my favorite.

    Meyer Hatchery Pioneer Broilers

    Good info! Thank you. I think I'll stick to the chill vibes of the Cornish X, after hearing that the Pioneers can be so cannibalistic and flighty lol.

    I did not. I don't know enough about them so I'll probably just get some CX in the spring.

    So true! And thanks for saying that. I think sometimes Russian people (the ones I know at least) assume people will associate them with the politics of their home country. Many people do that. But everyone is their own person, separate from their government.

    Yes, the cathedrals are beautiful. St. Basil's Cathedral is the most well-known (most people have seen a photo of it) and I was lucky enough to go inside. I was surprised to see that the inside was even more beautiful than the outside. So much gold and just incredible architecture.

    Very cool! Russian culture is very interesting. I've been to Russia and really enjoyed it. Political leaders aside, Russian people are very kind and welcoming. The food was excellent as well. I say go for it with the Finnish grandparent names! Anything you can do to preserve culture is great...

    Thinking about switching from a manual coop door to an automatic one – what should I watch out for?

    We have the Run Chicken. It's been reliable in our Midwest winters, has a safety sensor, and works with an app. We just change the batteries once a year.

    Yes, kids are so incredible! We are doing the one parent one language thing too I guess!

    My husband is a native Russian speaker, so he speaks that to her. I speak to her in mostly English because even though I can speak Russian, I'm not native and don't want her picking up my poor grammar haha. We will definitely be exposing her to other languages like Spanish and Japanese, but idk...

    That is really cool to know! Our baby is 6 months old and we speak two languages in our home so she can be bilingual. It's crazy to think her little brain will soon already be distinguishing separate words in both languages!

    Meyer Hatchery Pioneer Broilers

    I was wondering if anyone has raised the Meyer Hatchery Pioneer Broilers. I believe they just started selling them in the 2025 season and are supposedly a good alternative to CX and Rangers and are good foragers. If you have raised them, how were they growth-wise? Did the males start crowing...
