California is KEY to getting GMOs under control. Monsanto won't tell you the truth. This video is about 1.5 hours long but very very worth your time. Vote yes on 37.

Please share this with everyone you know.

Oh my gosh. I have researched this topic soooooo much. I try to make right choices as much as I am able to with my dollar. I am voting yes on prop 37. Label it- we have a right to know where our food came from without having to do heavy research first. They have spent a crazy amount of money on it to encourage no votes- if it's truly no big deal- label it. (my pennies worth lol)

This is one of my best fbcm roosters. How is his comb? Is it ok? I don't have any perfect Roos from my 2 batches but he is one of my best.

And this is my - so far- only keeper buff orp rooster. But several days ago I noted his comb was funky and dirty?
None of the other roosters have this. And I have like 10 roosters lol. Just him.

I cannot figure it out. Poor guy.
Excuse my typos. Sent from my iPhone.

Love the pic of the fbcm..very nice

The ones I told you about on ebay work awesome. They sale them in all sizes and colors.
Deb recommended them to me a while back. Love them. Easy to use...

The regulator is pictured at the bottom.

I got tired of having the 3 and 5 gallon poultry waterers leaking out, getting filthy and hauling water twice per day.

Ah thanks. I am curious to try them but I think they are too pricey for as many as I would need. They look nice!

i found those ones on e-bay. i got a size 6. Is that the right size for adult hens? for some reason they look like they would be to small. if that is the right size that is what i am doing this weekend. they let them out witht eh other hens now. I just need to keep track who is who. so if someone comes by wanting chickens my kids and hubby wont sell them by mistake.
