They are eating it that is for sure, lol, where normally they'd be slinging their food all over the place this they are not and I am going through a bunch of it.. I have hanging feeders plus they get some tossed in the run.
He's doing fine, I've lost his original girlfriends, all but the wingettes. But they and the others I bought to round out his harem are doing well. Thinking come spring I might get a few more to add in. Keep some fresh blood in the group. Of course that is going to depend on if I keep my...
it's been about 1.5 months now, last time I thought I was having a major decrease, I found where the smarties had made a hidden nest, I've since blocked all places (at least I believe I have) where they could be hiding the eggs. I picked up a couple of bags of Hearty Hen yesterday 18% protein...
