I like to take apples, strawberries and rhubarb and make an "apple" crisp.

Morning all,
Agree on the red fox comments, leg coloring despite the black and white is more like one. A red fox could absolutely carry off a chicken, and wouldn't make a sound doing it. Progress on coop slowed down after roof sheeting and floor in because of the rain. Steve hoping to get out of work early so that he can hammer out a big chunk of it today. Had a gal at work offer us one year old pullets, he thinks they may be some sort of silkies, but he was not sure what she said she had. Anyone have issues introducing adults to a flock of 5 week olds? That would give us eggs immediately and make our rotation a bit less of a shock in 3 years.

If adding adults to the big ones Granola...make sure you have enough space and hiding places for the young ones to go. I need to start introducing my 7 week old teens to the regular coop...they are outgrowing their brooder and getting rowdy. Might do a few at a time... I have one little girl that the roos were already jumping on and her back/tail bone is pretty raw...going to bluekote that up tonight.
Sold one of my roos last night... Our intention is to butcher them out...but that would mean adding alot of birds to our regular coop since I dont want the neighbors to have to feed them in multiple spots... we will see what we do.
