No, not a skinny one, one of the ones that looks like a regular tire.



Whites, here's mine on an old rusted wheelbarrow I use for poop:



(I think it used to be more black - sun bleaching... It even has a few hunks gouged out of it, still truckin')

It's not too unusual. I only have a couple girls laying so far from last year's hatches but as the days get longer I'm sure they'll pick it up. Just out of curiosity, how's their egg color?
.Egg color's just fine; considerably darker than their mommas

I never tried cloth diapers but I think I would've hated them. With the amount of laundry kids generate already, adding more, and messier wouldn't have appealed to me. But, that's just me.

Eh, I figure with all the laundry I'd be doing what's a load of diapers gonna matter? Plus I'm cheap and disposables are expensive, and I don't like tossing something and making more waste. But that's me. I say do what works!

pups leave next week the bigger litter and the other following

If I were in your boat, I'd erect a couple kennels (to replace the ones you confiscated for chicken housing) and put the adults in them when the weather gets consistently warm. They'll grow longer, thicker coats as next winter approaches, and get along just fine. They can whelp pups just fine out there, too; mine always did... never once had pups born indoors.

Do what works best for you! I am tempted to try them. up til this hatch I have going currently, i haven't even labeled my eggs as to who they came from. I cant watch the bator-its nerve racking for me so unless i see them pip and zip when i do check, I never which chick came from which egg. got a suggestion-just waiting to see if their idea will work for me....

I don't even know what egg came from what hen, and fertilized by which roo, except the barred, as I have a breeding pen that we scantily built that works for now. So all of mine were seperated by egg color and location of where the egg was picked up from, just because we have a lot of different little "huts" otherwise that hens lay in, and some have their favorite! At least I can take an educated guess on who laid what based on those 2 factors! Also based on the coloring of the chick when hatched~

yes always have a waiting list, I have a girl from misty I didnt sell as I would like to grow her out and possibly co own her with another breeder like Mike did. But I need to discuss all that crap and find a breeder who is interested.

More surprised that she actually admitted it

You do realize that me being the subject, only I can say whether you are right or wrong? I say you are wrong. Nanny nanny.... POO! POO!!

I've used both. Having a diaper service makes it easier, but with the new cloth diapers of today, anyone can handle it! I've been glad for my back up cloth diapers many times with Duckling!
