    Things you never said until you had chickens.......

    Since having chickens, I frequently referred to myself as "a Rooster Magnet". Why? cause the 50/50 ratio never happens with my 'bator!

    Will my roo EVER have wattles???

    Greetings - My Ameraucana Roo does not have a wattle, although he does have too much a comb for show. At any rate, he is the sweetest Rooster and our hens love him! He has a very gentle touch

    Do you ever get used to "putting down" a baby chick?

    I feel too guilty about doing this with my chicks. So, my Dogo Argentino (Argentine Mastiff) has absolutely no problem with this. So I simply hand the chick over and my big girl simply swallows. I probably should not post this, but I sympathize with your thoughts.

    Leaving Chickens Alone

    Why not get a Pet Sitter? Get them to come in once a day to attend to feed and water - offer them eggs as a bonus!

    Another Rooster question

    I gave a Roo to my neighbors for their hens. They claim it took him a few weeks before he stated mating, so maybe he just needs some adjustment time.
