thank you - yes weather, overall constitution -- excuse my chicken -- je ne c'est q'uai -- ignorance? -- but they APPEAR like they belong inside, on display - Mumsy talking about feather snow shoes made me look at them with a completely different eye.
guessing in mixed flocks they do not compete well? - get picked on due to size, or other chicken reasons -
and your avocado comment a little back made me smile -- was talking to DH last night about chickens & scraps (our cats have become fussy & leaving bits of canned food, which the chickens fight over) -- & I mentioned the avocado warning - to which I said something like - I don't know why they would eat it if it was so bad???
so you have also reinforced my - when it comes to vegetable matters - they're smarter than some give them credit for! Thx -
