What's really amazing is that my fat butt out ran them!

I'm going through 50lbs of feed every two days

Soon as fall gets here there is going to be an all expense paid trip to freezer camp for 75% of them

I have to battle my way in ,in the morning to give them breakfast

I have one thing to say about that...my chickens still love me, but I don't get mobbed, they don't get stressed.

 

[JRNash]

I've considered building one that would be fed by a hopper.
The mobbing doesn't really bother me unless its raining.

Nice mix of breeds pal, do you know the keepers yet and what's your future breeding plans for them ?

 

[JRNash]

Ive already placed some of the Saipan x barred rock and saipan x dark cornish in a separate pen. The barred cross is outperforming everything right now.

I'm waiting for a blue Cochin cockrel to come of age so i can sling him into the mix.

30 degrees C is what on a real Thermometer???

It appears it is 86 degrees........ While I am not a fan of that temp it is better than the 95's we have had.  86 is almost chilly compared to what we have had..

What are your winter temps??

30C is about 92F. Now temperatures are back to about 18-20C.
Winters here are usually between 0C and 10C. Which means cold and miserable but not cold enough for frost and snow... which means it's usually horrible wet and muddy...
