Barking Bracket used to be loud. Fortunately Punch who probably suffered from bad headaches got to her quickly and she shut up.Yep ~ & yet so tiny.So's Portia & the Campines are screamers. Luna can be perstistant ~ like a dripping tap & some days I worry about the neighbours because all the girls seem to be as cross as & letting the whole world know about it.
Yes she was. She's my bottom hen & seems to have trouble asserting herself.
Two out of twenty is 10% of your tribe broody. That's similar to what happens here I think.
Smaller birds seem to do better overall in the heat but seem to feel the cold faster from my observations. My big hens: Luna, Hepzibah & Soda, all hate the really hot days. The Campines don't really seem to notice weather changes. Portia, who is considerably larger than Shuri, seems to suffer more in the heat. The bantams have all gone broody in the heat & sat in a stinking hot shed without even panting.
Hmmm This is good food for thought.Smaller birds seem to do better overall in the heat but seem to feel the cold faster from my observations.
