Hi there

Is Hattie your only polish? Is she in a mixed flock with other breeds?

Yay for yogurt!...I may have to try a bit of that with Toodles. See if it helps with her calcium. How much did you give her?

I have to get creative to help keep them cool...before the rains this past week we were hitting 100 by 9/10am & staying that hot til 11pm or so. Way too early & late in the day to be so hot. Frozen veggies they've been loving...your yogurt could be a good mix-in too.
