Makes me miss the bantam Black Sumatra I used to have.

I hate it when that happens.

Are the bantams as aggressive in your experience? Or are they a bit calmer? And at least you don't have to worry about frozen eggs too often

They were really sweet. I had them shipped in from Florida. They were precious and I loved them. Loved these fat little farts too.

Ughh. Now I need to find more of them.

The Sumatras were purchased from a breeder in Florida and shipped in. The bantam Australorps were from a breeder in West Texas who's name I don't know as they were a gift.

I wish I knew who was making all these weird colors in my pheonix flock. They're all pheonixes, but Wes, the black tailed male and my flock master, and his original 3 girls came from a mixed color flock (still all pheonix though)

Roland's foot is just getting worse. We don't have anything else we can do. We have done salt baths, antibiotics and in a hope of anything, some spray that's supposed to work for frostbite on birds.

We're likely putting him down unfortunately because it's not going to get better and it's not fair to him to make him even if he's not acting like he's in a lot of pain. He's obviously not trying to use it constantly though.



Working on the shed more, trying to figure out how to set it up for chicks to make it safer for everyone and easier for me co sidering the large time-frame new babies will be coming in (end of March through some time in May possibly)

Anyone have tops for starting CX chicks? I have 5 for a friend coming in and I'll be darned if I accidentally kill them with my lack of knowledge on them

Also @ColtHandorf, let me know when you're able to sell white orpington eggs and those cochins I'm constantly bugging about if the new male works out. Definitely still on my list
