Yes, and I did an accurate count. With nine babies, I have twenty-six chickens.

That is true. But I'm not planning on eating any of my current birds that are named..... I have 8 birds that are not named. Those aren't staying after they stop laying.

You don't have to. But these are SQ Sultan hens, which I have wanted for a very long time, and there is no way I am eating them.

I get that. I used to raise Polish.
No way I'm eating any of my good quality hens either, until they are done laying at 6 to 8 years of age.

Call them George. Matter of fact, Call 'em all George; no mis-identification problems that way. Worked for George Foreman.

Amazing.

Yes, I got girls, but I thought I could make Bubbles work for a girl..... As I recall, there was some kerfuffle a bit ago over whether Bubbles was actually a good name for my roo or if it was too girly.

I don't think he'll care. You could name him girly girl and he wouldn't care.

In a bit, I gotta get a nice enclosure set up for photos first, as of now they are in a macgyvered pen that doesn't look very good......... I wasn't expecting to get them until that morning, so I hadn't set up a quarantine pen. It is a very sturdy pen though, 2 x 4s covered in HWC.


I'm doing things properly this time.... Last time I did no quarantine, I brought poultry lice, MG, roundworms, etc into my flock. Not doing that again! Although..... There is probably not that many more things I could introduce.

There are lots more things you can introduce.
I almost never bring in new birds. Quarantine is at least a month when I do. Then I put an expendable bird with them for another week.

What about Chaos and me? We aren't Pennsylvanians, but live in Pennsylvania.

Hey silly, it was intended for people that live there, not people born there or especially strange places like New Jersey.

That's how you know if something brought in is something your flock is susceptible to.
