That is very interesting! She has been making quieter noises so she must be talking to her babies. I could hear some internal pipping earlier so hopefully we will have some babies tonight or tomorrow morning. How long does it take for the babies to fluff up after hatch?
I got all 18 six foot t-posts from my grandpas barn for free and they were actually in really good shape. They were from his old calf pen that stood from the early 50s to late 70s. I have also gotten 4 steel chicken feeders and a metal chicken waterer from him that are my favorite to use with my...
I tend to lightly prune my romas, heavily prune my heirlooms, and occasionally prune my hybrids at the base. It depends on how the plant looks. They stay up better with more suckers at the twine so its not rubbing on a fruit bearing branch. It's really about preference. YouTube has a ton of...
