BREAKING NEWS.........A big fight has broke out at the OK Corral. A Pumpkin was involved. Ivestigator is looking at possble involvement by a suspect named Roger. Details to follow as investigation unfolds.
 
..............A mutilated pumpkin was found at the scene. It appears that the suspect known only as Roger wasn't interested in sharing a 35 pound pumpkin with roommates who also reside there. Apparently the suspect named Roger has refused to cooperate with the investigation. Numerous feathers of different species were also present at the scene. Investigation is ongoing so stay tuned for updates.
 
Little Fred is an American game...or as i like to call them, appalachian game. He is a good looking fellow, don't cha think.? He was one of the last chicks Meredith gave me. He has some nice characteristics that will add to my flock. They free range very well, he is still very wild but come when I whistle. Keep your eyes open for pumpkins on sale...those that aren't so great anymore are fine for chickens...in fact, you can freeze them, or store them cold and give them in the middle of winter...note....they may look pretty sad but are good for your chickens. They can be hard to get around here since they get fed to the cattle.
 
Hey Johny how many hens do you have? Do they get to free range? Are they kept with other fowl? Any way, hens will slow down egg production this time of year, usually more into the shorter days, I once noticed a slow down in production, and then saw broken shells and some egg in nests. With all I read about egg eaters...I thought oh no. Because little eenie was always in the coop, and i caught her eating some. Well, I couldn't understand why she would eat eggs s I separated her in an open broody box. After a week she had a tidy clean nest with five eggs in it. Hmmm. The loss continued until one evening when I almost collected a ginormous rat snake, totally involved in gulping down eggs. The coop was tight, but I had been leaving the door open for sunshine and fresh air during the day. Either way, it had to be fed to the buzzards, and i keep the door closed. The chickens don't have a ramp, they hop out the pop door onto a stump, 2 feet up. I was surprised but happy to find it before he got under a broody hen. Plus I keep the grass really short, snakes don't like to travel in the open if they can help it. But anyway, are your hens combs nice and red? Any competition for food? I guess you have to examine your flock and keep looking for the problem.
