my better half helped me to ziptie a crower this evening, I think she is hooked

several new white birds still on QT.

Moved the several reds and red tuxs to Alachua- they are now part of "project 235", as in "just off of cty rte 235".

and unloading the brooders this week, almost time to start over- white birds only, plan on setting some of our own eggs around July 1st.

and of course, really hope it stays hot and dry so I can risk heat stroke building pens in the heat this weekend...

Stupid question I'm sure but I don't know the answer so "What is zip tying?"

 

[JJMR794]

Marking The Roos... Place A Zip Tie On 1 Leg If It Crows.

 

[MobyQuail]

yup. can't feather sex the white birds so we will zip tie the roos when they crow. you can also use zipties as your own marker/records system.

all males get bright orange bands- left leg, here.
and all females from recent May 1 hatch get pink zips, older hens are marked with gray zips, lol. etc.

eta may v. june 1 hatch, they are over 6 weeks old now.

 

[JJMR794]

Yep Zips Are The Bomb For Marking Birds For Any Reason, Be It Sex, Hatch/batch, Bloodlines... You Name It. I Use Them To Mark Batch And Yr On Many Pheasant Speces I Have Here. And For Non Color Sexable Coturnix As Well As Batches.

really makes sense to observe the 'veterans'. get to pick up a lot of neat tricks along the way. why re invent the wheel?
(altho i admit loving the zip ties for fixing just about anything. i zip tied a thriving rose branch that got knocked off, hoping to keep it upright until the bloom fades. (DH asked - what are you doing?))
