Hey ya'll don't know if you heard but an egg business in Northern California went down so they're trying to rehome 1,800 hens. If anyone is interested, the website is here.

He is! I picked him because what I read up on the breed was that they were known to kill feral cats and we have a lot of those around here.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that next time.
He just started trying to crow and it's so cute, it's like he's going through puberty and his voice cracks. Well, today I got my first taste of his hormones when I picked up one of the hens. I've picked them up before without any trouble, but I think he took exception to me carrying her away...
My flock is at 9 weeks and I was just wondering if they are always going to be picking fights with one another and chasing each other around. Or do they eventually settle down? They've all been together since hatching. Well, except for one who was added at about three weeks.
