Re: Guest Speaker Reccomendations
Thank you for these suggestions!! This is just the kind of support I knew I could rely on :) For TomK and baronrenfrew I'm sorry I've been gone so long!

Re: Guest Speaker Reccomendations
I nominate @WLLady , PTO administrator, breeder and geneticist. Perhaps along with @poultry_admin , who although "not a chicken person", has extensive experience with chicken math and dealing with us crazy poultry people. That's a great suggestion! I'm fairly sure she taught high level genetics cou...

Mystery Hitchhiker - What Breed?
Okay, so I have absolutely no idea what colour his soles are, but I will let you know. He is black with purple and green iridescence in his feathers.

Mystery Hitchhiker - What Breed?
Hey all, so a local friend called us up last night telling us they found a big black rooster just walking down their rural dirt road. They asked around, and no one seems to be missing him. He's a really nice guy, good manners, seems very healthy, so we've got him with us while we wait for someone to...

Pecking her new babies - advice please
Definitely (if you are going to go the foster route) put them under her at night - same way you introduce new birds to the roost.
