I just got a tiny little barred rock bantam rooster an he needs a name. He is really friendly, we call him the old man but he is pretty fiesty. Any good, funny and unique name ideas??
I have 10 two yr old hens and 7 3month old pullets. The pullets are in a seperate pen because they (obviously are smaller) and because they are still on starter feed. My problem is that they have out grown their little pen and it is starting to get nasty. When can I put them with the older...
Ok
I am also considering Welsummers and Black Copper Marans, have you had any experience with either of them, and if so which has a darker egg? And better layer?
Not sure this is the right thread to comment on, but I'm looking into getting a few of these hens, how dark of and egg do they lay(could someone post a pic of an egg) and how good of a layer are they?
Oh ok, and I was actually planning on buying pullets about 4-6 months old( closer to laying eggs :)) but I was looking in a Murray McMurray catalog and they run 19.99 per bird! Is that a good price? Seems a little pricey to me!
Ok, thanks for all the advice! I think I will go with whatever they are selling, 1st choice is marans, and then welsummers or jersey black giants or Delawares. Any idea what the going price for any if these breeds as a pullet is? :)
Ok thanks! I'm going to a chicken sale this Saturday, have either one of you heard of black jersey giants? I heard they lay super huge brown eggs. But I will let y'all know what I end up bringing home! :)
