But this last winter, there were a couple of mornings when we saw fresh fox tracks walking around the chicken house. In the winter with the snow level, we can't keep the electric fencing on so have to keep them inside their house and attached "solarium."Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-29642412639768660692020-06-22T14:50:47.644-05:002020-06-22T14:50:47.644-05:00Gorgeous chooks.

I assume it is true with a lot of species that lessons learned on ones own last a lifetime.<br /><br />I hope my Buff Orpington hatches a chick out. I realized that she is behaving very similar to when she hatched out Flame in August of ‘18. Erratic setting and eating shell and all of eggs in the clutch. She is finally settling in and has one remaining egg. Perhaps she favors only one chick?

I always say that's because if there's a biting insect within 5 miles, they go for me and no one else. Calamine lotion has proven to be the only thing that (halfway) stops the itching for me so that's what I suggested he put on all his bites. And it did help. Your Australorps are five and still laying strong? Methinks you take good care of them! Actually, we've always managed to keep hens laying way past what they (the experts, ya know) say should be their prime. This is the first year we've had much luck at all with chickens going broody and staying with it up to the hatch. Usually, it's our ducks that have been the good setters. And hatchers!<br /><br />tpals - Yes, the Speckled Sussex breed is an attractive one, isn't it? We've hatched out our share of eggs in incubators in the past, too. Which has always proven to be more reliable than with hens that seem to have the broodiness bred right out of them these days. That's why we're so thrilled to be getting some chicks that have been hatched under hens this year.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-32917077495239362592020-06-21T20:01:24.640-05:002020-06-21T20:01:24.640-05:00Oh, your sussex are pretty.
