    M Martha has tried to sleep in the nesting box several times this week. I remove her and up on the roost she goes!

    I offer my sympathy to those who have lost chickens, whether by predator or illness/injury. When I first owned chickens over 30 years ago I lost my rooster and two of three hens one night, probably was a raccoon. I can still see their bodies in my memory, it was that traumatic.

    I don't know about Amrocks, but my Dominiques had similar markings as chicks. The boys are lighter in color.

    Zack is not hiding as much, is actually roosting but away from the main roost with the hens. His tail is longer than what you can see here.

    Yes, he's been hiding a lot, but the chaos that the cockerels were instigating had to be stopped, and so the others were rehomed. The hens are much calmer now. The good news, of sorts, is there's a second hatch about 6 weeks younger, and I will probably keep one of the boys as a back up...

    My Zacchaeus doesn't have any siblings, either. All his brothers went to the auction.

    It's hard growing up. Martha did a wonderful job with her five. Once they were about 6 weeks old she went from loving to tolerating, and finally rejecting. They looked so confused when she pecked them.

    My broody sat for an additional 3 days and hatched out the extra two in my staggered hatch.

    Except for the combs they look like my Dominiques.

    I appreciate the discussion, even when people disagree. We're adults.

    I'm a bit new to this, have only had my current flock for 14 months. Theoretically I have no issue dispatching an animal that is suffering or that is a liability. But it's a bit different having a pet euthanized by a vet versus doing it myself. Samuel was the first chicken I personally killed...

    My rooster was crowing after dark yesterday. I was surprised, went outside to see why, and then I heard our neighbor's children screaming as part of their play outside, sounded like shrieking. No wonder Samuel felt he had to reply! :lol:

    Watching as I am hoping to brood à la naturale, with a hen and in the hoop coop.
