    That article you turned me on to a few years ago used the term and I ran with it. I don’t know or understand any of the science behind it.

    Not to be argumentative, all I can say is that I have hatched lots of RIRs and only the 2 have failed to be consistent with those markings.

    Whatever you want to call it, if my chicks have black dots on their heads, they’re pullets. If not, they’re cockerels. The only exceptions have been the 2 chipmunk chicks.

    Maybe. I’ll have to search.

    Well, I didn’t. I certainly don’t have the slightest grip on genetics. I didn’t want those 2 messing up my autosexing RIRs.

    I did. The problem was that I didn’t build it tight enough so bees AND hive beetles could get into the void space on the other side of the follower board. The bees couldn’t manage them and the beetle numbers exploded. I want to revisit it but that will be a complete new build.

    Remember my TWO ultimate RIR female chicks with the best, most amazing chipmunk pattern ever??? They turned out to be cockerels 😭. I didn’t have years in that, though. Maybe 2 generations? Still was a bummer.

    I would love to have seen this one follow through. Weren’t you just speaking on this same coloring situation or someone on your thread?

    No hive beetles? That’s nice! That’s one major con to beekeeping in the south. I almost lost a colony last year to hive beetles. Thankfully, I checked the hive and caught it before it was too late. That was my long hive experiment. I stopped just short of torching it after I rescued my bees.

    Yes, that burns my bacon! Because I have nothing better to do than sit and wait on you to NOT come get the chickens you asked for. 😡

    After the bee inspection I decided to render some wax. Ya know, get ALL the bee stuff done? Apparently Nov 1 is not a good day for that. The bees took it over after about 30 minutes. So, here I am at 7pm still rendering wax. Almost done, though. This isn’t candle quality. I’m just getting it...

    I did a quick inspection of both colonies this afternoon. So many bees!!! No need to check on the queens. They are thriving. The supers are chocked full of goldenrod honey. They are just as heavy as when I harvested honey this summer. Everyone got a healthy dose of smoke (coz, yes they still...

    Oh yeah, it’s on the roof draped over a section of the fence lying flat with a couple 2x4s shoved underneath to give it some pitch so water will run off.
