Dixie Chicks

Jem, they've been pretty nice. 3-4 lbs dressed, about 2.5 lbs of meat per bunny. Not bad at all. This next batch should have even less bone.

welp have moved the chicken tractor off the raised bed the honeymooners tilled and deweeded and debugged for me... now converting it into a mini greenhouse/cold frame raised bed to start early



wind started kicking up so decided to pause and not try to play a frustrating game with the wind before setting the plastic up

@1kluckychik
  didnt you have some ducks due to hatch or something how did it go?

None were fertile. We eggtopsied. No development at all.

What chicken has everyone found with their personal experience to be the most cluckity? noisy? loud? ect?

By volume, my RSL's are real bawk-BAWKy once the egg hits the nest. Only a couple of egg songs and then off to find some grub. By duration, it's my EE who announces before, during and after. She doesn't have the noise level, but it is constant, constant, constant.

My RIR's used to really go to town announcing the arrival of there latest egg , but they calmed down to almost nothing as they aged ? Had JG's who did like wise , but with them the rooster started up with antic's as well if they made a ruckus
