The images with this text were actually somewhat disturbing... & not so cute. My family is into fantasy & sci-fi fantasy. So, I presented this text to bing.com fighting rooster riding centaur, waving flag, in 4th of july parade It is the least disturbing... hmm...

2nd entry Bing.com - ancona duck family in 4th of july parade with sparklers

OMG! I had to give it a try. Never done this before. Yes, it's addicting. Bing.com (not ms creator) - white bresse chicken couple watching 4th of july fireworks None have the blue slate legs...

I've done a couple of posts in this thread.. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/plants-in-the-chicken-run-a-mini-forest-for-chickens.1540569/ Post in thread 'Green coop again..?' https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/green-coop-again.1625989/post-27774624 There are many more on...

That would be a grow box & can be done in a variety of ways. It could be a frame of 2x4 or 2x6 w/ wire across the top of the box. Bottom of the box is open & it could be moved around. The soil under the frame can be conditioned or amended & then planted in various seed - clover, oats, beets...

I will need to save this website and go check it out. I also want to learn what some of those other tests are. There is also a test for the blue egg gene in Ameraucana, Araucana & Cream Legbars...

Who did you get her from? Almost looks like the blue project birds that were being worked on on west coast... If she didn't have good eye makeup or other female CLB characteristics, I wouldn't use her for breeding. She can pass that on to her chicks until autosexing is very hard to use...

How do they look now?

I didnt know you could DNA test a bird for sex. What was the cost for DNA test? Where did you send & what did you have to provide? How long did it take for results? Did you get them online first (portal through email) or did you have to wait for mailed results? When I bred & raised Shetland...

What breeds went into the Saphire Sky? I've never heard of this hybrid before. "SS", to me, means Speckled Sussex - a reddish brown bird w/ white speckles. They are a heritage breed, that I've owned in the past but don't have currently. They are both large fowl & Bantam sizes. Cute birds...

I have done a couple of different builds w/ CP. My initial tractors were built using treated 2x4 (2) & 2x6 (1) bases. They survived not 1 but two moves on flat bed trailers when we had to have temporary housing in between moving from leased property to our current (& last?) property. Built in...

:welcome Many plants will work inside a run - just protect the roots at least while they are getting established. That can be done with large rocks or boards, chunks of tree stumps, etc. Or you can put up a small fence encirlcling the plant - a ring of chicken wire, 2x4 wire. Yesterday, I read...
