Thank you!! We will plan to keep these two until we have issues and hopefully we just don’t! My husband will love to see this response. If you had said a hard no, I guess I would have just HAD to go get 6 more chicks (which ARE in stock. I just called. It’s still tempting. 😂).
If it works out that way, do you have any thoughts on keeping one cockerel to one pullet? I technically have at least 11 girls total in my flock but these littles don’t hang out with the big girls. They are kept/fed together but they choose to be separate.
Also if it works out this way and I DO...
They are as integrated as I can get. They are in the same coop at night, same run for food and water, and free range through the day. But no matter where they are, they are separated from each other. Even in the coop, the big girls take the highest roosting bar all together and the little ones...
So here’s my dilemma: I have the “big flock” that’s a month older than these. The “little flock” has these two silkies, two male polish, and a male Orpington. (I didn’t plan this, they all came unsexed.) I thought the flocks would integrate better but they don’t. They coop together and they all...
I have two silkies, about 9 weeks old, that we are trying to sex. I’d love some thoughts. We are new to backyard birds. Little Buff (buff) and Fluff (white) have become my favorites so please tell me I have some girls! ☺️😉 Not sure if it makes a difference but these two have been getting bred...
