Glad it's you and not me but feel sorry for ya, I avoid shopping like the plague lol, sister says I am abnormal  cause all women are supposed to like to shop

I hate shopping too though I could deal with it if someone gave me a bunch of money and even then no malls or clothes. On the other hand I love riding, football, and most anything outdoors

Okay so this is a question about the other end of a chickens life. As soon as I catch the ODB he's losing his head. I have two groups of chickens (currently) both have roosters and both groups are housed separately. When the one group loses there rooster would it be a good time to incorporate both groups? One group is 6 hens and a roo thats gonna be soup and the other is 3 hens and a roo. Losing the top of the pecking order should make them reshuffle things so I would think it would be a good time to add some to it. Thoughts?

I've put new pullets right out of the crate in with established hens when I had no option. Just turned the crate on its side & let them walk out as they wanted. Took them a bit to sort things out, like less than an hour, but by roosting time that evening everything was fine. They were in a 12x20 run and a walk-in coop big enough for 3-4 times the number I had, & they were all RSL, if that made any difference.

Barred rocks. As for pics they already in the brooder.

IMO, I'd just put them together when you're down to one rooster. There won't be as much hen squabbling with a rooster present.

Good point that I neglected to mention

Duckling update.... The three that pipped on their own are out and fluffed. The other five are still alive and I'll take a closer look at them in the next couple of hours.

I was driving down the road signing steve Earle yesterday and sang "no local yokel gonna shut me down" and I was like hey! That's where that came from?? Lol

LOVE your AVY so beautiful BJ!! have a good ride!! be safe!!

The cheapest brooder and fastest to assemble is a Lowe's large moving box. It's $1.39. If you need more space, add more boxes and cut doorways between them. Put heat in one, water in another and food in another.
When the chicks outgrow them they can be composted along with the feces or cut open and laid down in a garden bed to suppress weeds and pile more compost on top. The worms will eat the boxes.

Some of those are close but most are off.
I don't think Adelaide the chicken sitter knows what she's talking about.

Leghorn = leg-horn (NOT le-garn) That depends on what part of the country/world you live in. In MO it is le-gern. I'm not saying that's right it is just how it has always been pronounced around these parts. Webster's says both are correct.
That's like New Orleans, if you're from there, it's N'awlins.
If you're from Norfolk, it's Norfuk.
Australorp = os-tra-LORP According to Webster's aus·tral·orp

WELL DANG PADDLER!! WHY DIDNT YOU JUST FIX THEM RIGHT AWAY? SO I DONT HAVE TO????

Seriously wondering if its the horizontal position that sucks for ducks since the eggs are larger and more round???

Not ducks but I had a lot of malpositioned last hatch that were laying in the LG.
INTERESTING

I bet you get quite a lot of attention when you go shopping with no clothes, depending, of course, on prevailing local custom
