    cross breeding leghorns and silkies

    Comment by 'smarsh' in article 'Composting With Chickens'

    I am in lexington, my chickens didn't like yesterday's 2" of snow, suspect the 8 to 18 expected tomorrow will really freak them out. plan on tarping part of their run tonight to give them a little more snow free space.

    What breed and gender is this???

    most certainly a roo, most certainly a mix. don't think I would care to guess but does appear to have barred rock. the barring could be from other species but with the yellow legs too, I feel pretty good on that one.

    Comment by 'smarsh' in article 'Water in the Winter'

    i didn't get too far into this, should be working, don't tell the boss. While it may be true that some animals drink more in the winter, I can tell you, as a sweating mammal, that I do not and neither does our horse. High humidity with heat actually makes us sweat more in an attempt to cool.
