dang

Yea , i had went out there several times and chased them off with the broom but you could hear them screaming in the trees around us then it wasnt even a few days later when we had started talking about making tractors for all the chickens two chicken hawks were on either side of the one tractor jeremy made trying to rip the hardwire cloth off to get to the chickens that were in it ,luckily the tractor was strong enough to keep them safe but it stressed the chickens out so we decided not to go with the tractors

I once again hijack this thread selfishly. Question about my excessively broody hen. Opinions appreciated: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1101564/should-i-let-her-hatch-eggs/40#post_17308325

No such thing as a hijack.... Wish I could help, but I'm in the same boat.... I found the start of Jace's third clutch today.

Needless to say, I tossed em.... That girl is crazy.....

Thanks

lol anytime

On the bright side, my remaining adult chickens seem to be handling the heat quite well. One hen has seemed to be in distress the last 2 days. I may bring her into the cellar tonight since the next 4 days are going to be worse.
I'm worried about the chick coops. They don't regulate their temps so well. But they are under trees with huge windows.

I hope they do well

Best birthday card ever! It wiggles!

Rofl!!! Love it!

They will at least breed true but there's no pedigree of sires with all flocks running together.

It depends on what one's purposes are. Most probably don't care. If one wants to improve the breed, knowing who both parent's are will make breed improvement happen years ahead of random selection.

True. I'm going to try the clan mating system. I don't have many to chose from to start. The one rooster looks good but the back up has a crooked comb. One of the four hens has small feathers on her leg so she's out.

Would you use both roosters and go with that or make up the clans after the next generation?

Ha! What's up with these broodies? I'm fairly new to chickens (3 years or so) and I've never had one that is broody at all. Until this one.
