Oh yes!! Picture a playground of children and you are doling out popsicles! I have 11 and four turned out to be roosters..I've been contemplating what to do about the roos and this morning when I fed them more noodles the alpha roo wanted to hog them all..explaining why my hens aren't maturing...
My peeps are now ten weeks old. I initially bought six and after a week I bought six more because I fell in love with them. Of my now 12 chickens, I wound up with 4 roosters!! My county ordinance doesn't allow any so although I never intended to have to, I decided to butcher one of them myself...
I'm amazed at how easy they are to care for. The first days in the run I had to put them up but after that they automatically go up when it gets late. I believe they cannot see well at night and therefore feel vulnerable being outside. Anyone else?
