Hi Ya'll. I had such a great and positive experience when my first roo got sick. I purchased 6 birds from a local family, 4 hens and 2 roos. 3 were RI Reds and the other 3 Silkies. I am finding it very hard to tell which of the siklies is a roo, but right after losing my first RI red roo this...
I started with four Mullens and two got out and lost during a storm, So I had two left, I just added two RI Red hens and a roo, and two silkie hens and a roo. My mother laughed at me when I said I was getting chickens because I was terrorized by chickens when I was young. LOL but I love these...
