After much of my daughter whining because she wanted to hold her Emma my EE she finally got to do it. She wanted to himd my Lewis Roo but she was a bit affraid of him. He is gentle and a lover but she keeps staring at his spur and says no no He will claw me so she backs out.

Thank you yeah I did not really know at the time of the flock I have going but I am in love with them. I have some questions though. 1) my husband and I are wanting ducks. I would like a male and female I am wondering i I can keep them all together? 2) My Lewis roo is a sweet roo but he has been doing his roosterly duties a lot lately. Well my lil girls came to me with moat of their feathers gone. I have been spraying them with Blu kote. My question is should I put the ones that have red skin in the same coop but run a a wire fence across it and at night let them back in with Roo? What would you all suggest?

Hi and welcome to this site !
To answer your question on the rooster... You need these to save them from feather loss and scratches. Also you can break, or trim / cut the spurs off.

Omg thank you for the pattern I am not a one to sew but maybe I can convince my grandma to sew them together. My question is how do I measure the hen so I can make my own?

There are several good propane companies (from GF) that deliver to Sand Coulee/Belt area, so you should have no problems. And the same with septic people -- it really isn't that far from Great Falls, and most businesses will be happy to come to you. I hope you will be able to keep your chickens & animals? Are you going to be hauling them up here from Utah? When will you be moving? Curious as to who you bought your house/property from. Good luck with your move!

Quote: Can't help you with getting more chickens, but I checked with my dad -- he designed my coop & run. He said for 14 birds, your coop is plenty big & the run should be also. My run consists of about 1/4 of an acre, give or take, but it's all fenced in ..... they love to run run run. Do you have it winterized yet?
