Yes it is and I still have a lot o go :) hoping to have things more manageable in the next few months. I love my chickens very much but I can't even leave for a night. I'm ready for balance in my life :)
I also have a few bantam Roosters to find homes for. They are just to sweet to eat. I'm hoping to sucker some kid into them. If not, they can just stay here. They are small and don't take up to much room :)
Yes, they are going for food. It is hard but has to be done. I just have to remind myself they had a great life here and I can't have beautiful hens without getting so many roosters...it's all part of the game...
I currently have four Bresse hens and one Bresse rooster. They will probably be a breed I won't keep. I really like them, I just need to down size a bit. :)
