    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    That's good! I haven't seen my chickens kill any mice or anything. I went out this morning and got 25 more. Much. Easier than setting 30 snap traps and constantly checking them.

    Does anyone have problems with mice in your pens? I hung a feed bucket up but they would spin. So I put 3 plant stakes to keep the bucket from spinning. The mice were climbing the stakes and eat the feed. I put buckets of water at the base. In one night I caught 15 mice in the buckets. It worked...

    I am so sorry! I had issues in the past with impacted crop/sour crop. I stopped dumping grass clippings in my pen and haven't had an issue since. It's not the green clippings as much as the dried clippings that were left over. It formed a ball and they couldn't pass it.

    Thank you, I am hanging in there. I have been missing you guys. I haven't hatched any chicks this year. I think I still have about 17 hens and 3 roosters.

    This is my favorite girl Lady. She has a leg injury. I doctored her for months and she had a splint on to straighten her leg. She still has at times a glitch in her step but over all she gets around well. Sometimes I can't tell which one is her. I got really attracted to her.

    I use it all the time in stir fry with vegetables from my garden. I also do chicken patties. Pretty much anything you put ground beef in you can do chicken.

    That is what I use to grind meat also. I have a large grinder but unless your doing a large animal. It is not worth the time it takes to clean it. The good thing about grinding. It doesn't matter how old and tuff the chickens are.

    Let's play guess what happened to the 2 blcm and the one bc with white in its tail! The three that I am keeping for now were on attack mode protecting the others. Normally they would be trying to kill them.
