"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[Sjeane]

Chickens were a great move for me too Cody, i have lost 20 lbs from all the activity created by having chickens, plus, eating fresh yard eggs has improved my cholesterol check ups, my good is up 4 points to 43 and my bad is down to 81 from 103 last Nov. No change in diet just more activity and the fresh eggs. My wife even sees the difference in me.

good for you! so far i have lost 76 lbs, but i was pretty badly overweight at 309 lbs, 6'2" tall. down to 233 lbs in between messing with chickens, the only other things i have done as far as diet goes, i cut out soda's and sweet tea, and cut down on my bread intake otherwise i still eat just about w/e i want just cut down on my portions.

Good for you Sjeane, bye the way, do you know Tony Jeane ? We worked together in the gulf. Yeah I cut out most sodas, mostly tea, water and morning coffee and some grape or apple juice, I had already cut back on all that when I reached 230, in 1 year I have dropped 30 lbs, back to 200 now, going for 195

cant say i do the only Tony Jeane i know is a woman, i am aiming for 200, its taken me a little over a year to drop that 70 lbs. its really slowing down now though. dreading it but guess i am going to have to start doing some cardio or something lol

That's exactly what my Gson AJ did. He's lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks. Eating normally except for that. He's not a dessert person thank goodness. He's now at 260.

Pam, I'm confused. What are you trying to catch? Is it a beekeeping term?

No Cody it's stupid auto correct. Should read a swarm which is a bee term. I'm trying to get bee's again without buying them. Pam

 

[Ron Skekel]

Are you just concerned that the current run space is too small for that amount of bird if you had to keep them cooped up? Or are you wanting to make the run space large enough do you don't have to free range. Or do you just want both.... Capability for keeping contained and free range if you want to. I see no negative with more coop space, ever, lol. I know some people keep different breeds and let them switch off and free range one coop space with one breed at a time. Just alternating days so that they don't end up with mutt chicken from cross breeding.

Thats what I do With my legbars and bielefelders. Pam

If I had that much space I would envision a chicken dream play land, with painted chairs, different heights of outdoor perching, maybe even a log to sit on and a swing or 2.

Don't judge, I like happy chickens. Haha haha!!!!

I bought the swing on sale. I have a old cypress a frame from a swing. Today we will get netting to make it a tractor for my young birds.They can meet the flock in safety. Pam

That is awesome! I lost 80lbs by cutting carbs and no sugar! Great job!

ATTENTION TO ALL THE PRO'S OUTHERE: Is this a hen and rooster or 2 roosters?



The crown and waddle look like hen and rooster but Maude's tail is starting to look like Niles

they look like rooster and hen to me, it would be easier to tell if the shot were closer up to them, if the shackle and saddle feathers are sharp pointed, then it is a rooster, if rounded ,then , it is a pullet
