It can get tall. I am growing it along a fence. This will be my first time growing it.

Hi everyone, nice to see the Colorado thread so active! I have to share the news of my Barred Easter Eggers hatching tonight. 1st one just got out of its shell. Bought the eggs right here off BYC. Will try to post pics tomorrow.

Totally going to try to grow this stuff! Plenty of room to do it, too, but all bets are off as to whether or not the deer will keep it short.

My daughter wants one silkie or a polish for the flock, because they look so silly

. She loves the crazy goofy look on them.
Are the golden polish ones ( from elizibeth county corner store ) good for colorado winters? - they seem to be the only pullets around.
Or should i keep looking for a silkie, which seems better(?) suited for CO. Lots of kids in my area will love them.

I have a chicken grain garden this year (and last) where I am growing quinoa, corn, millet, and peas/beans/misc. I am trying Milo in a container and seeing if I can get it to do anythign. I went to Mountain Mamas and found some things to sprout and thought it would be nice to give those a try last year. Last year was a trial and just for random treats, this year is to suppliment.

Morning Kyle, our Gold Laced Polish girl Cleves, did great here. She was realy sweet and a hoot to have around

And she actually layed a pretty good sized egg every other day or so.
