    Blue Kote spray encouraging pecking??

    Coop litter going into run

    BYC Café

    I dunno<shrugs> google it? Can probably have it delivered tho :D Does this mean you will get rid of all your other males, and the ones that will hatch? Breeding means a lot of culling. Will you also buy an incubator? After a half inch of rain overnight the air has been filled with snow...
