Selling the two English Orpington cockerels I have. Combs are no good on either of them. I'll just have to get a good one out of the ones I'm picking up from Colt.

Yup, I've actually lost 4 birds total. So untill migration is over or I have a dog for the chickens they get to stay inside.

Also, because it's been rather difficult getting hatching eggs for modern game bantams we have switched to polish bantams for my friends daughter. Lol, now I have to build a proper coop and run area.

Yeah it got it in front of coop. Was able to get it maybe two feet from the coop and gave up and ate it right there. Only know it's a hawk because of time of day and I've had them sitting on the fence waiting. Or they cruse low over the open space farther out in the property. They buzzed me the...

🥰 Can't wait till I can come up and mine from you. 😑Hawk got the male from Cackle I was leaning towards keeping. Everyone is u being kept up now and will be through winter.

I'm incubating 36+ bantam eggs I got from ebay. 🤣 Testing the Ovation 56 ex. And my Rose Comb Raven is sitting on 12 eggs.

Looking directly into an English Orpingtons face gives me puppy dog vibes.

Them and the Ameraucana always take a while to mature. The Phoenix and Spitzhauben are quick. Thank you for the advice on the boys.🥰

They are all four months old. Yup number 3 was my top pick untill his comb started flopping over. I do agree number two does seam to be a nice balanced choice. His tail is lacking but that might fill in later. They are all good boys. It's still hot here and they don't get handled much. This is...

Number three's head shot. Number two's head shot. Number one's head shot.

So my choices with my English Orpington boys. #1 This is not as full in the brest as the other two. No flop or crinkle in the comb. #2 This one has good full brest. No flop or crinkle in the comb either. #3 Crinkle or flop in the comb. Good fullness in the brest. I think he's the biggest...

That's going to make my decision on witch of the 3 cockerels I have from Cackle Ill be keeping then. Two of them the combs are flopping over in the back end of the comb.

On male English Orpingtons should the comb not flop over? Or is that ok?

Also, I ended up with two surprise cockerels! Late blooming Ameraucana in Lavender and Black. The lavender has better feather quality than the current male I have so might be selling Indy at some point. Not sure Ill keep the black either.

Still freaking hot but getting days with much less humidity occasionally. Had a bantam pullet that wanted to be a mom at 5 months old. >.<

Oh they have 3 two gal waterers in one pen, the other only 1 two gal. That pen with the one gets let out at 7am and they have low water tanks. I over rn the tanks when I get home with cool water so they get some relief from the heat @ 3:30pm.

When I put the 4 week olds out with the 10 week olds and aunty Judy I was worried I would have to find a way to separate them all. Turns out I just had to sit with them a few hours a day and be the angry hen.

I'm worried about mine but they seem to be handling it alright because we have a good breeze. And yeah had two hatch out some and 3 where lost to the heat. Only the Ameraucanas seem to be taking it the worst. Me too on the waiting till 8pm to do much out side. I tried more last Friday and got...

How is your heat right now? We are hitting 102 with a crazy index.

You and me both!
