Some times when people get the extra girls I offer a free rooster. I always advertise rfree roosters on local computer bulletin board. If I have no takers I let them live their good life, until they crow, then process.
Taylor hatched in a group while I was asleep. I have her listed as a chipmunk chick.most of those ended up boys. All the boys are still with us I don't know who is who.
This is Pamela, now called Papa.
roosters.paprika Brad and Kim.I called him and he came running to pose again. Below i let the boys run free these 2 genius birds decided to peek at the goose, who has killed roo chicks before, may not be a good idea.
One of my gray hens, "Prairie" just started to lay a tan egg with purple spots.
All my hens are crazy about me since i went to the garden and turned over dirt clods and there were worms under. They are always under foot now.
