Carp, I forgot what I got on here for lol!
@FlyingNunFarm thank you again for turning me on to that extreme care stuff, at this point it is the only thing keeping Rene looking like a presentable chicken.
Her comb is awful! Dry pecked little thing just looks sad. I put some of that on there, go back in a bit and she's got an actual red comb.:)
I’ve honestly used it for just about everything! LOL
 
One of the new folks just shared a picture of his 6 week old flock. He deliberately got two CX for meat. They are dwarfing his layers.
:barnie

You can raise layers with meat birds, but it really isn't recommended because of the size difference and the fact that the CX are greedy pigs. If you want to raise them together, it is better for the layers to be older.
 
Trying to get the base ready for the tiny greenhouse today.

I have dug so many clumps of runner grass out OMG!

I was thinking about putting pavers inside the greenhouse BUT that ground is fighting me on leveling it.
A base of pea gravel would allow drainage and still soak up heat.....but would allow weeds to come up. :hmm

I found this video. I like his shelves adding strength. I plan to do something similar.

 
Or maybe someone was feeding him and stopped/died/moved.
Well he's found another buffet.
Meet your chicken, sweetest girl but FULL of sass.:D
