Go to any sporting goods store and they should have a clamp for a mini-mag light that will put that dude right under the barrel. We used duct tape in the old days and it worked just fine.

Glad you're a good shot...why not tape the flashlight to the underside of the barrel so you can still aim?

Robin,
Did you enter a picture of your sweet White Cochin at the computer and on BYC in the BYC calendar contest? I'm so sad that she is gone and I only know her thru pictures.

good morning everyone, well its been a while since ive had a chance to get on, ive been so busy with the garden and farmers markets but found some time this morning to get on and see whats been going on. my big news of the day is ive been missing one of my silver blue modern game hens for about a month now and just assumed she had been takin by a hawk or something. well as i was feeding the others that i have been raising in my garage i heard alot of sqwaking coming from behind the freezer and proceeded to check it out. To my surprise there she was with 6 new babies. This was especially exciting for me cause she is my first broody and to see her takin care of them and teaching them where the bugs are is so cool. They are the neatest little things and its so much different than takin care of them myself. She had 3 blues, 2 (silver) light blue, and 1 dark blue ; almost black looking. I took a quick count as best i could of everything and im up to around 150 now including chicks and 4 ducks. i will try to get some pics of momma and babies later.

Hi Michael! Good to hear from you, I've been hoping that the garden had been going well. It is a tough year with this heat.​

No one has told my 5 mo. pullet yet that it is too hot to lay - she is still laying almost every day!
Told DH he is a Super Chicken Farmer - his Buff pair have a 100% hatch rate - 3 eggs in the incubator and 3 chicks out!

Still getting 4 eggs a day...at least one Wyandotte, two EE, three Australorps, one Delaware and one Sex-link are sharing production duty.

I've never had many cochins, until I got a bantie and now I'm looking to expand. Don't know if its the breed of just the bird but they seem to have alot of personality.
