Eggs mid day, a group of my hens lay eggs in the morning, and the other group lay later in the afternoon, strange, considering they all eat at the same time and it usually takes 24 hour for the egg to develop and drop....what animals do you now have?
thank you for your response! yes so did I, my dad watched Bonanza, Waltons, Get Smart, and mother watched Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, leave it to Beaver and Father Knows best, aaahhh the good ole days. Our chickens are all hand raised, very people oriented, and a ton of fun, Horse...what can I...
we have the same going on on our side, cats, dogs, chickens, parrots and parakeets all eating out of the same bowl sometimes, funny to watch, and now my son's added "pigeons into the passel"

thank you so much, those are rescue horses we've had for a while, sometimes they are a handful, but they are loved, and spoiled sometimes. tell me in your region which chicken breeds did you find are better in your tropical climate, I heard the Mediterranean breeds do better in heat. I stick to...
