Yes. Starter/Grower is a favorite but she did chow down on Feather Fixer as well.

This sounds promising...that she is chowing down on all of them. Healthy appetite has returned!!

The Big Freeze

My rooster use to do that when the hens wouldn't settle down at night, he would low growl at them and then there would be, silence

Old rooster Bob was tricking them into being quiet. How clever was that!

Don’t you feel though that they rather look down on you as a conversationalist?
I feel like I have the vocabulary of a very young child and not a smart one either!
It may be why Maggie yells at me. She thinks maybe I will understand better if she shouts.

Yes, that is probably true. However, my girls do talk to me a fair bit.

I know that personally, I am very willing to learn what is more natural for them when they go broody so I can try to accommodate that as close as I can in their current environment. The thing is that I have no experience or information to draw from. Thats why I appreciate rants and advice so I can learn what is more natural.

What I do is based on inexperience and ignorance, not because I want to, but because I don't know any better. I want to learn and grow so I can be a better steward of those I've decided to care for.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there are people willing to learn and do better but they just need the right information and have it be accessible.

(I know this is from forever ago, but I'm catching up. Page 1088 of 7500+, but I will get there!)

I can say for certain that much knowledge is coming your way as you read through. One of the great things about the thread is that everyone can learn from my experiences and mistakes. Enjoy the read.

This is my attitude too. I must keep learning.

Lifelong learner here, too!

Just like an American in France who doesn't speak French, Maggie figures if she says it louder you will understand.

such a wonderful story! I loved her Dad's vision and the fun they had working together.

I really enjoyed it and that coop is very cool. Her Dad is very clever and talented.

I was surprised by his ability to see a coop in a freezer!
