i dont generally like predators , but i guess only prairie dogs have to worry about them

And grazing animals have to worry less about broken legs and big, bald spots on the prairie once prairie dogs have their natural balance back in place.

Hatching Eggs for Swap Fun Colors!!
I have barnyard mix of greens, brown, and cream. I would love to find some deep brown (maran) eggs or some bright blue. Owego area if anyone is interested. Slowly working my way to a “rainbow” mix of eggs over the years. Thanks for looking!

Back in the 1700's my family had a farm in NY. (Mabee farm Museum.) If anyone goes on a road trip have a look, I will never go since I am not in NY but I would love to hear feed back. And if you go just know you have a chicken friend who was related to the farm.

Hey everyone! That time of year looking for chickies. Anyone know where I can get JUST wheaten (pure not EE) ameraucanas? I went to the ameraucanas directory and it's outdated with people no longer selling. I was able to find one person but they aren't taking any more orders this season due to demand. I'm considering just buying a bunch of the assorted mix from mcmurray and then getting rid of the non wheatens or using them for meat. https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/ameraucanas.html

If anyone here has pure ameraucanas (not EE) then I'd be interested! Other than that my plans for 2021 include: looking to hatch more black coppers this season. Hopefully also extending my black silver marans population after a hawk took my last hen. It isn't easy to find chicks or eggs for silver blacks. But I guess slightly easier than my other dream of finding le fleche anytime soon. *sigh* a girl can dream.
