Multiple open buckets spread thru out property in shade. And changed out multiple times (at least 3-4 times daily) But I have ducks... So, yea. 🥴

Butt nuggets Edited... Just noticed the thread date. 🙂

Gorgeous spot you have...👍

My coops are all secure but as soon as I see any sign, I set my traps. Yes, others move in after I dispatch. Rinse and repeat.

Looks pink... majority here are saying she's a blue or blue copper so I was wrong (apologies...🙂) On the plus side you got another Marans and more chocolate eggs hopefully. 😃

I was asking @TexasBlues if that's where his Marans came from but I remembered that he sourced his locally.

That sounds like typical laying schedule for 5 layers (4-5 eggs/week per layer) at peak. I've got 2 broodys also right now. My first with 2 at the same time. One went last year and the other the year before, but this year they decided to go broody at the same time. 🙂

Your Marans ? Scratch that... I think you said you got them locally.

:wee Congrats....give the juicy details. And pics of course when you get them settled in.

If there's 4 birds I see 2 cockerels, 2 pullets. 1st pic... 3 birds. Cockerel on left, 2 pullets. Can't see head of 4th. 2nd pic.... 4 birds- left to right. Pullet, looks like a cockerel, pullet, barely see head and comb but it's a cockerel. 3rd pic. Left to right. Only 2 in that pic Pullet and...

My birds didn't like pellets, also. But I had quite a bit of it. So I started mixing it in with the crumble adding more every couple days til it was 100%. They now eat it.

You've gotten a lot of great advise so far. I can add go low and slow. Chickens are a prey animal and most everything deadly comes from above. Get as low as possible and scoop them up from underneath. Grabbing them from above is scary. Depending on your weather if it's warm enough, you could...

There it is..... 👍🤣
