Just found out we are allowed 4 chickens in our neighborhood! No rosters though. How do you decide what type of chickens you want?
The Puffy chicken is so, well, puffy
The wet chicken looks so sad
The chicks have cool markings.
Thanks for the pics!
Cheers,
Mo
Thats the great thing about chickens
Soo many species, it depends if you want a small one or a big one! These 2 are both miniatures (bantams) and lay small eggs about the size of ping pong balls ( very tasty though ) We aren't aloud to have a roster either in these residential areas, but we love animals, and well... we do a few things that some of the public may find..... dodgy or shall i say 'illegal' Stupid word. Our rooster only crows a couple of times a day, we put him to bed on a perch in a large pottery pot, with a dark cover and he sleeps through the night until he sees the first wink of light (about 7am) and with the cover on he's reasonably quiet, and after 5 minutes of crowing he's ready to get up and have a scrummage around. He's got it easy lately as the momma hen is locked away with her chicks while they are still so tiny, so he just guards the backyard and hides under the tree, you wouldn't even know hes there unless you were in the yard with your back turned hehe.... They can be ferocious little birds and have an
amazing amount of physical strength. Funny you mentioned the 'wet' chicken lol, That was in summer, about 45 degree heat, she looked sad getting the water treatment! you're right there! but she loved being wet, and it allowed her to stay col while she cleaned her feathers. ( Silky bantams don't have barbs in there feathers, thats why it looks like fluffy puffy hair
She grows them out just before winter to stay warm, come summer, she plucks alot of her feathers out to stay cool!
Same chicken
puffy/wet
Get some chickens Mo
the best company animals, and they have eyes just like humans, they look straight at you and suss you out exactly. Its like they can see straight through you. Roosters sound awesome aswell!! If a little chick is a roo we will try to get some video of him learning to crow!! only about 3-4 weeks away
We loved all the chicken markings, the cutest sadly died, had black stripes running down his face and had a cute little round body, was sure he was a roo. The 3 that are left i think are 2 females and 1 roo.
No problem Mo!!
Flowa...dude...i am loving those dark shots, they look so perfect
Mo- depends what you're after, some lay bigger eggs, some are quieter than others, some are smaller etc. You'll also need a rooster if you want good eggs
you don't have to have one, but trust me, if you habe a rooster, the eggs taste a lot better!
Yeah i forget about the dark shots, it gives good reference to colour and i'm seeing some very dark greens, so i'm backing off now. Still deciding what i'm going to do for swell phase..... have heaps of cyco swell, but the add.27 from Dutch Masters looks like it has a decent amount of available phosphorus, i'm seeing little tip burn, and i've been pushing food pretty hard, but i almost think she could handle more of something. I fixed her mag deficiency which i put down to Dutch Masters Nutes having a lower percentage of Magnesium so the leaves have more vigor, her growth rates are still going strong. I gotta flush again tonight, thats 3 times in 1.5 weeks... Not that i HAVE to, but i'm seeing such a dramatic drop in the res each day its unbelievable. After 2 days there is next to nothing in the 40 litre res, so i give her a quick flush, and fresh nutes, and she honestly seems to be loving it. The add.27 states you can add 30ml to each 10 litres. 120ml!? that does seem strong, and on their calculator and some small reference from others only 20-40 ml is needed in a 40 litre res.... so i'm getting 2 completely different rates and suggestions, and going on instinct i went in between and feeding 80ml of add.27 and she seems fine. I'm not seeing her sky rocket like the last grow i put that down to the colder weather, hotter weather makes buds stretch and maybe helped get that 'Eiffel Tower' look last round
You know what!? The add.27 smells SOOO good, and looks SOOO damn sexy, i'm just going to run that. along with some base and silica, really simple... oh and guess what..... I haven't added a single drop of sugar enhancers (suga rush/pineapple rush) as i wanted to see the difference their straight up baselines can make. I've heard awesome things about this add.27 and smoke some of the nicest buds i've ever had the pleasure of tasting, As we all know you get back what you put in, so mineral nutrients are all going to give a different effect, each and every round, especially if you mix things up, and don't go by the books
I like Dutch Masters because they don't seem to push there company too much out there, they want people to know if you want quality product, use there stuff, if you want bulk, use the 'pushed' marketing stuff. Based on Dutch Masters research, They are actually using high grade chems, and maybe even the best. I'm getting AWESOME results, and I've come to be pretty picky when one wants to smoke something he created
I also notice a cleaner end product will end in a cleaner wake-up the next day.... I'm going to start thinking of flushing as ridding of excess metals now, not salts as they say, because one they've been through the system and become oxidized my thinking tells me they become heavy, and even toxic. I get these thoughts sometimes, and logic falls into place with a little more research here and there, always learning, always trying to make a 'better' product or always to the best to our ability
Hey if there is enough of 'us' trying to do it properly for health reasons, then basically all the commersh stuff is going to have to change again at some point, all these commersh growers not putting love into each plant comes back straight onto them with feedback in my opinion. I can see how herb has got a crooked name now and then because there is stuff out there loaded with chemicals, and far from what could of been achieved. Sooner or later people won't want to buy commersh, because once they get a taste of the good stuff, they just won't want to touch the 'other' Because thats how we've come to be! It really makes all the difference. So glad that most RIU are for perso. Thats AWESOME. I bet we all got sick of smoking shit at some point, as to why we ended up on here
WE ALL KNOW IT OUT THERE.... Just gotta push that shite outta the way
Happy Growing Everyone!! 
thats a big number. bad weather? so sad, i had a couple die in my hand and they were the first for me. damn nature
I don't need to remind myself to check her thats for sure!! As soon as i walk near my house let alone walking in the front door! This shite makes you go what the!? and you smell it again, and ALMOST i say ALMOST turn your nose away lol!!! I don't know what the dealio is but maybe its the extra humidity or extra lighting.... but this is getting ridiculous. I Kinda wish it was a little more subtle because people are telling me my clothes stink of growing ganja, and this is people that have no clue, and i'm not even touching the plant
