Thank you Bogtown Chick. I live in SE Louisiana and it gets so hot here that I was worried about them having a heat stroke with the apron on. I have a couple without feathers already but I think I have a couple of bully hens pulling the feathers out. I bought some lightweight polyester...
I am fixing to make some aprons for my girls and was wondering if two pieces of cotton fabric is enough or must it have something in the middle? Thanks
Professional breeder advice needed. I want to get another cockerel and the closest breeder to me only has true black. I have BBS. At one time I thought I heard some of y'all say they are different when it came to breeding. Please enlighten me so I breed properly. Thanks.
So sorry for your loss. That's my biggest fear. I currently have a very healthy closed flock but all of my cockerels were culls. Very scary bringing in new chickens. I wish you continued success with your remaining flock. We all know how much you love your chickens and the time you put into it...
I was in a local feed store and they got baby chicks in while I was there. I asked what kind of chicks they were and they said Ameraucana. I told her if they came from a hatchery, they are probably Easter Eggers. She got mad and said they sold them as Ameraucana and they lay green and blue eggs...
I feel that way every time I pick up something in the store and it says that which is 98% of the time. It makes me wonder if we can make anything anymore. I would gladly pay extra. So sorry you lost all those eggs. That's horrible!
I haven't been on here in quite a while due to flooding and just being busy. Thought I would share my exciting news. One of my splash hens laid her first egg today.
Still waiting on five other girls as they are all the same age. End of 27 weeks. Monday would have been 28.
It was a decent size...
