He was hatched the last week of May.

The red comes from his mother, Bertha ( his sister) does not have any red.


Here are my CX's being released this morning:

That is a great video. We have alot of predators where I live, so I only let mine out an hour each evening. Supervised.

I got mine from Hoover hatchery in Iowa, What I read on there website is the eggs come from Arkansas.

If that helps.


Chicapee I let mine out all the time alone. There will be some "accidental murders". I know this. BUT if you notice how much junk I have setting around, it is left there on purpose so the birds have things to crawl in and under to hide. Junk is a chickens friend!


Also the area the film is in is a pen with 5 ft walls. The top is open. They can come out the other door on their tractor and be completely free range. I close that door if I am going to be gone. In the morning they all go into the pen for some reason, in the afternoon they are all outside.

Had two red shoulder hawks perched in a tree eyeballing the chickens earlier. I sat and watched for a good 20minutes. They never made a dive, I think the geese were just too much for them.
