Now that it is winter and stuff....

Just came back from my coop as well. Told six of my roosters to enjoy their last night.

They just make me smile. Makes me wonder how I was without them.

Poor guys. Did they get to request a final dinner?

Must be something in the air, mine were crazy tonight at roost time as well! I had to stay and supervise!

I had one that had sour crop last fall. I was able to clear it up, but not before she lost alot of weight, and then went into a molt... @lalaland it was due to hay. I put it in the run, within a week she had sour crop. I took it out of the run. put wood chips in instead. this winter i'm trying leaves.

I've used hay for more than a decade and love it. But for some reason, these girls were just snarfing it up. I think they were a little deprived of stimulation in their past home - but if any get sour crop, I'll be turning to you and minniechickmama for help because I've never had a hen with it before.

Scandia, are you going to butcher them yourself? And I forget, are you keeping any?

The usual, mealworms and watermelon. My poor hens need respite.

I'll butcher them myself. We'll have three roosters left, Gockel ( Alpha), Rascal ( BO) and Napoleon ( Banty Cochin and overall romantic dude).

Next year I'll get my Jersey hatching eggs !

The starting of a new thread has no intent of being a personal insult to any one on this thread. Let's move on.
