    However, my free ranging chickens have a chicken house to sleep in for shelter, but most still choose to roost in trees during rain, sleet, snow, ice, etc and all do just fine. Wild turkeys also roost in trees all winter and do just fine. As do wild birds. A good healthy bird with adequate...

    Yes, definitely. And some people shouldn’t own animals at all but that is a whole story in itself.

    All of my friend’s Silkies perished a couple of winters ago. I told her they had to be kept dry during cold spells and she didn’t heed my advice so they all roosted outside with no shelter during a cold rain/freeze and all froze to death. Their feathers are like fur and are not water resistant...

    Well I was thinking their crests and them being silver is why I thought maybe Silver Belles. lol

    Project: Crested EE

    Red Neckers or Silver Belles are two names for the Crested NN EEers I have come up with. Of course the project is new and no chicks have been produced yet, but I am pretty excited about it. lol

    Project: Crested EE

    Well in order to get green eggs, one or both parents must carry a brown egg gene. That increases your likelihood of producing a percentage of brown egg layers which is typical of EEers. I will likely try to weed out the brown egg gene the NNer cockerel carries so I get birds pure for egg color...

    Frizzles are a novelty I have never wanted to keep since they can be so tender in the winter. If a bird can't handle our crazy weather and winters, it can't stay here. I am not going to have house chickens or make heated chicken condos to keep adult birds. A frizzled or silkied chicken isn't...

    He did, and he was a good bird. I will actually be revamping my Legbars since they are strictly a layer breed for us for our own use. I am going to put the Crele project rooster over some Legbar hens in the spring after I have enough Crele Leghorn project chicks from him, to freshen up the...

    Yep I missed the part of his resurrection. Well that is good news! What a relief! But see if you didn't have any of his sons and needed him bad, he would have really REALLY died. That is the ways of the chicken.

    Somerset, Kentucky is pretty close to me. Knowing those lovely birds are within driving distance may be dangerous for me. 😍😬
