Cheyenne sweetie, give yourself some credit there miss. You spend an enormous amount of time with your chickens, and in doing so, you observe their behaviors and condition on a daily basis. It would be you, first and foremost, who would recognize a problem in any one of them, long before the average adult with little to no chicken experience could ever hope to notice. You know more than you think you do sweetie!
Cyn, it isn't your imagination on the humidity level. I was just listening to a story on NPR a few days ago. They were commenting on the fact that the south has experienced something like 35% more days of high humidity this summer than in all the years previous since records have been kept.
Hopefully, that just means that you're going to get an extraordinary autumn this year to make up for it!
Kathy, surely you don't mean to fatten up and eat
all of those beautiful NHR X BR crosses!?!
Chief and I both would be utterly heart broken to hear of such a plan.
Wouldn't it be far better to send a few of those fine young ladies up north to be part of an outstanding flock of mutts? Chief and I would even be delighted to pay their way here! Hint! Hint! Hint!
Speaking of grow outs: I wish you guys could see my little Del babies!
They're just so gosh darn cute!
Every morning, when I let the whole mongrel horde out to play and eat, Emilio, Madison and Eleanore gather at my feet and follow me, very obediently, over to the gate to the covered run. I open the gate, they file in, and make a bee line for their own little food dish and water bucket!
Such sweet and well behaved little children!
I am constantly amazed at such a calm demeanor and regal bearing for ones so young!
