My Showgirl from Chiquita is looking like pullet to me. What do you all think?

Also wondering is the blue coloring around the throat is anything I should be worried about....

Thats their earlobes!! It means shes extra breedable, your right id guess girl from the wide crest and lack of wattles. That is the PERFECT color, hard to get that bright!

Quote: Yeah! I had not noticed it on her until I saw it in the pictures. Glad to hear it is a GOOD thing! I have no roosters so won't be breeding her though....

Shortly after walking in the door tonight I got handed the bird flu memo DH had received earlier today. I applaud getting the word out to watch our flocks but no domestic birds left the property, the wild waterfowl are suspected of bringing the H5N8 in with them.

We had so much rain falling today my girls wouldn't have left their covered runs without a fight.

Anyone know the withdrawal for corid?

There is no withdrawal--works by not allowing the cysts to use thiamine so it is not something that gets into the eggs or meat.

Thanks to the rain last night, my backyard mud pit was totally smooth this morning except for all the raccoon paw prints around the chicken enclosures!

I could even see where one of them tried to dig under the cinder blocks that make up the foundation of our hoop run. I'm going to need to check the perimeters and make sure everything is predator proof before locking up the birds tonight. The prints were almost as big as my dog's prints so there was at least one good sized raccoon prowling around and looking for an easy meal.

Being it in woods, I too have to check the large caged run the birds are in. We laid down layers of small rocks, about 1 ft deep, then placed 2 ft of wood shavings and hay. In the interior, around the bottom against the run, we placed stepping stones, added security from predators. I walk the perimeter checking for signs!

Coons are bandits with masks. After I trap and shoot a few of them, I don't see them for awhile. They will eventually return if they know there's a food source. The dummies who leave dog and cat food outside, even going so far as to feed these masked varmints, or don't secure their garbage receptacles are a problem as well.

Especially if you shoot one and hang it a few days . That helps too

I'm in Northern California if anyone likes Onagadori type fowl.

look at those tails
