    Azure blue

    If they are younger the eggs should get bigger in size. I do have one that lays Medium. My birds are now 2 years. I'll not buy Azures again. They have great layer feed along with oyster shells but the shell quality from 2 of the 4 is very poor. That coupled with the crazy attitude they have...

    Is Azure Blue a legitimate breed?

    I have 4 that were bought from Freys, grown out to pullet’s and resold. They look like Leghorns with brown, black or slate spots. I also have 2 brown sex links. The Azures are very flighty and spooky. The shells are a pale blue. At least 2 of them have low quality shells. I personally wouldn’t...

    Azure blue

    Congratulations! I find them quite flighty! I also find the shell quality and egg production has dwindled as they have aged comparing to my Bovin Browns of the same age.

    FIRST EVER GARLIC HARVEST!

    Well even though the tips of my garlic leaves yellowed earlier in the season I’m very happy with the bar so far. Some of you may remember I planted over 100 cloves of the hard neck porcelain MUSIC variety. We have had a miserable summer started with very hot and dry then cold and dry then over 9...

    Coons!

    I use these DOG PROOF TRAPS! Put corn or dry dog food in the bottom under the trigger. Make sure you stake it down. Put a white golf ball over the trap,it helps you see/check the trap from a distance. I highly recommend you buy the set tool because the spring is strong while setting with the set...

Here is a quote from the province of British Columbia Hydro “Installing a surge suppressor or an uninterruptible power supply (with surge suppression)...

    DO FRESHLY LAID EGGS SHRINK AFTER THEY COOL OFF?

    Hello, I noticed a week or 2 ago my first egg of the day was as laid just seconds before I checked the nest box. The egg as always was large but nothing out of the ordinary. I set the egg on the step while I continued a few garden chores. After the egg cooled down I couldn’t help but notice the...

    My other mild obsession: watercolor

    They are beautiful! You need to sign and date them! Even if you don’t want to sell them. They are beautiful and someday who ever receives them be thankful! Have you ever had a professional art dealer give you an opinion?

    Cockerel?

    Red shoulder patches make me think cockerel. It’s very hard to see the legs but in the few pictures we can see the feet and legs they look large and thick making me think cockerel as well.
