That's one breed that I haven't had! I do have a Buff Brahma who is a big, wide girl! Zoro has been courting her and finally succeeded today, several times! He even got our Coronation Sussex today. He likes those big butts!

That sounds like me! I hatch them and then they go to the farm. I'm waiting for my friend to say enough is enough!

Her chicken sitter must be making a small fortune lol

She's still away as far as I know. She mentioned her DH was her pet sitter. I think she said she was coming back in March?

Well that's how it's supposed to work when friends get together for a visit!

I have a question...tomatoes ....are the leaves ok for chickens or no...found two websites that said two different things! Trying to plan my raised beds for the garden and some are in chicken territory.

Technically, they are part of the nightshade family (with potatoes, bell peppers, and hot peppers) and are poisonous. I don't think small quantities would hurt them, but if you had a lot of tomato plants it could.

But poisonous doesn't necessarily mean it's going to kill them. It just means there may be some adverse effects such as stomach upset, vomiting ( I don't think chickens vomit).
