    Is this enough hawk protection??

    I would think not, when animals enter the grass the grass would spread apart. Anything flying over head would see it once directly over head. With that be said the odds of evasion is high in favor of the chickens seeing the predator would have to be directly overhead. Consider this as well...

    Crooked neck

    Have a Dominique (sp?) chick that is about a week old. Everything was normal until this morning. For some reason it has a crooked neck now. Head is turned in one direction and isn't returning to a normal position. What could be causing this?

    Genetic refresher course needed on blues.

    pips&peeps : Ascott1978, Contact me later this spring as I am setting up a splash pen. I will have a splash cock over splash and blue hens. The egg color might not be as great as some of my other pens, but the resulting chicks will be mostly splash. Will do.

    Quote: Thanks, I wish I was getting BBS but it sounds like I'm at least a generation away from that possibility. Unless I buy some more soon. LOL

    Genetic refresher course needed on blues.

    Quote: So if my goal is to breed mostly blues I need to retain a blue rooster and as many blue hens as possible. Right? I want to eventually get a splash rooster.

    Quote: No, I already know what I ordered. The eggs are from a Blue rooster to black hens and from a second breeding pen where she has a Black rooster with blue hens. Thus the chicks I will be getting will be only black and blues. All of which will carry the blue gene.

    Thanks for the alcohol tip, I'll try it next time. I can be totally wrong about how to administer the drug so if I'm wrong I need to be told so.
