Lucky you!!!

Yep!!

Do you free range them? It can help to spread oyster shell around the yard; sometimes they're more excited to eat it when they "find" it. I feed all my girls grower feed, and most of them are doing fine. My poor Marans had a hard time getting started, and we got a few paper eggs from her...

I've raised one pullet and one cockerel, and they were both very hardy.

@UrbanFarmOC more silly chicken tshirts!!!

What is the best age/weight to harvest a faverolle cockerel for meat? I wish I could keep my handsome guy, but he's illegal :/

Yay, congrats!!! Did you get egg*s* as in more than one???

My fav roo climbed onto my knee today. I think he's actually settling down a little ( thank goodness!). He was hatched early September, so about 10-12 weeks old now, and very handsome.

Silly birds! I'm also glad to hear that they may calm down... mine are both just nuts nuts NUTS right now!
