its a person on a horse going around three barrels set in a triangle. It is a timed event. My daughter is in the peewee class, so she cannot go faster than a trot, but some of these people (mostly women) go CRAZY fast. You cannot knock over a barrel or break pattern or you are disqualified.

Thanks for clarifying Sounds like a lot of fun - what a shame it got cancelled..

Yeah unfortunately you don’t have a rooster to step in and break up fights.
Roosters don’t like the hens fighting and will put a stop to it.
Separating them for a few days may help.
The lowest bird (Roo) May gain confidence to defend herself and the bullies may have some wind taken out of their sails.
You can just try it and see.

Thanks hun, would be a whole lot easier if we had one. I've been watching videos on YouTube of people with the same problem as me and they used this method with good results, just got to hope it works for me.

Great news on Pig, the cockerel I rehomed to a local couple. They just called me at work to let me know how beautiful he is. Apparently his owner has had to put him in check a couple times but overall he’s such a good rooster to his ladies!

First egg!!!! I would guess it's from my Australorp Harriet, because she was the first to start squatting, but now 4/8 are squatting!

Yay!
First eggs are always exciting.
I can’t tell who laid what unless I see them in the box.

@ChooksNQuilts hi hun, just after some advice please - Jellybean's egg has changed colour, yesterday and today's egg so far, they still have a tinge of olive colour but is a lot darker and looking more like a brown. Is this normal?
