    Best HEAT and DROUGHT tolerant cover crop

    For reference we’re in the Texas panhandle, south of Amarillo- Lubbock to be exact. The summers here seem to get more brutal every year, with all of July this year being over 95F every day, with the last part of June staying 105F up to 110F. It’s just miserable. Our winters aren’t usually...

    Does anybody know much about “Asian black” chickens from Hoover?

    Does anybody know much about “Asian black” chickens from Hoover?

    What is this chick?

    I know the breeds of the other ones- stated above. I just can’t figure “topknot” out……. Her colors don’t exactly match brown leghorn and they don’t have a “crest” like she does, either. I looked at mottled Ancona like you suggested but that’s definitely not it.

    What is this chick?

    Ordered chickens from meyer on April 4. Blue Andalusian, white leghorn, some kind of French leghorn that starts with an E, which I can’t remember how to say, and copper marans. This one is supposed to be a brown leghorn but she has a topknot?????? What is she? I will keep her and love her no...
