    Cleaning Blu-Kote from feathers in advance of show

    Hello all. We will be entering our hens in a show for the second year in the first week of October. Months ago I sprayed the rear of one of our Light Sussex hens with Blu-Kote. The hen is very healthy now and her feathers have re-grown. The issue is that there is still Blu-Kote on some of...

    Nice videos. I am in the process of completing my chicken coop construction and can sure relate to your surprise at how long the construction took. Any updated pictures of the coop?

    Looking for Golden Campine pullets suitable for showing

    Perhaps my use of "move forward" was confusing. Do you mean that by purchasing pullets we will miss out on the opportunity to raise them from chicks and thereby have less of a sense of accomplishment when she shows them? If so, I agree with you but was led to believe that if my daughter wants...
