Have you ordered your no crow collar yet? 

I have 2, size small (6"), that I never used for my boys. Could you use them?

Thank you very much for your offer, but I've already ordered my collar, plus my Wyandotte needs a larger size. It's only a possibility that I'll actually need a collar. Thanks again.

Not super chicken related but... does anyone know what kind of caterpillar these are? I found this one and a couple others munching on my hummingbird sage (salvia spathacea) this afternoon when deadheading plants.

​

I have looked through tons of pictures and its hard to tell from the angles you provided but I think its some type of cabbage white caterpillar, possibly this Pieris brassicae caterpillar

Still dealing with broodies up here in Sonoma County! Argh! Working on breaking 2/3. Need a third broody cage, I guess!
3.5 month old splash girls are looking nice. Here is one I caught yesterday struttin' her stuff...

She is so pretty! What breed is she? I have 2 bantam orpington splash pullets that are looking very grown up now too. I think mine are about 5 months old now; I will have to take a new picture of them.
