    Are blue french copper marans showable?

    I was going to enter my magnificent roo in a show next month, but I have no clue if I can, as I don't believe they are APA recognized. So, is he showable, and will i be able to win anything if i'm so lucky?

    Chicks dying

    I had seven 4 day old silver spangled hamburg chicks and 3 four day old serama chicks in the same brooder. I am now down to 3 and 3.

    Can I scare hawks away?

    Bird netting will do it for ya. Just put it up wherever the chickens are going to be, and the hawk won't be able to get through it. Also, crow noises freak the chickens out, but it works like a charm. Makes the hawks bolt!

    stupid hawk!!!

    Use bird netting. Put it up with some kind of poles over where your birds are free-ranging. If a hawk tries to swoop down on them, it won't be able to get through the netting. It's the cheaper option in my opinion, but you'll still want to have a good coop/run for your birds.
