I do take notes on all the attempts. if it wasn't for happy and sweetpea I probably would have given up. They wintered over in the house as they didn't get time to acclimatize to the weather like the main flock did, which by the way they did pretty darn good with -40 temps for a couple weeks there, then we got dumped on but they still out free ranging, Picks are 3 weeks apart chicks Nov and Dec hatches 2 roos found new homes


Happy from Nov is BR roo/ white leghorn hen and already bigger than her mom since Nov. she's looking for my son that went to work lol.

Sweetpea is BR roo/BO hen from early Dec hatch the 2 little BR roos that hatched with her already went to new homes as don't need any more roosters lol

Nice looking birds!!! Funny how the barring got washed from the white leghorn mix, but is still pretty strong in the BO mix. Speaking of too many roos... of the 22 BR chicks I have, 14 are roos. I plan to keep one. Might be hard to re-home 13 BR roos...

Well we planned on a flock of about 20 including a couple of roosters. we eneded up with 9 hens and 2 roosters in the main flock and rehomed the rest that turned out to be roosters
