I have butchered some excess roosters. Not much to them but soup stock. Most of them were in the six to eight month range.

I haven't been on this thread in forever! Brutal winter and I lost two of my crested girls and a lot of damage to some combs, but they survived. Now it's hatch time! Five out of my first hatch a week ago, but a lot of those eggs spent time in sub freezing temps in early March. Hopefully things...

Thought I'd post a pic of some of my flock. (plus a silly silkie who wanted to be in their pen)

if you are anywhere close to I-81, it looks like you are probably within about two hours of me as well! I know its about two hours to the rest stop on top of the hill in WV from here, lol.

I have 2x4 wire around mine. The chicks go out but always stay close. I let them with the rest. Momma watches over them.

I have six in the incubator on day 11. Or so. These are from my flock. Don't really plan on keeping them over the winter (assuming they hatch.) I'm in Lancaster County, PA.

I don't truly free range, I have large fenced areas for reach flock, 80x20 and up for each. I used 5' 2x4 welded wire on t posts. I did lose two chicks hatched by a broody when they got attacked after getting through the wire (to a blue Jay). I can put a hot wire around the fenced in area, just...

Sounds like you're headed my direction! I'm about 20 minutes from Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and Lebanon if you are in this part of Pennsylvania!

Yipee!! First egg from my next batch, and my momma hen has started to lay again since her babies are now around a month old! Now to finish the new coop. Not enough space for 17 with my current setup.

It is also illegal to relocate in many states

SunnySkies, I am so sort to hear about the attack. I have some up and coming birds if you need a replacement rooster. Around 8 weeks, so the color isn't definite yet, but likely not blue or black. Father is handsome, mother is red and white. Since I, like everyone has extra rooms, I would...

My chicks are about the same age and they wander through the fence into the other run with three big birds and Roost with mom art night. Rugged little things.

Tweetr pm me. No chicks yet, but they should be laying by late summer. Also know a place in PA that normally had some. I'm in Lancaster/Harrisburg area. Building my flock!

Any opinions on this boy?

Momma out with her two remaining babies.

I would say my SFH is my loudest and most frequent crower.

My hen went broody a few weeks ago, so I left her sit. Three so far out of 6. Thats 14 of hers hatched this year, plus 5 from shipped eggs, so I now have a flock! Of course, I'll have to weed out some roosters, bit I finally have enough to say I have as flick of Swedish Flower Hens. I am not...

My only laying hen went broody on six eggs a couple weeks ago. Ice already hatched 11 of hers, so I figure by next weekend I'll see how she does as a mother.

Redhen, I assume you went to h&h?

And I'm over here in Lancaster County with some growing out, as well! I took a few teenagers to a display at our local TSC last weekend and drew a lot of attention! No one had seen such beautiful birds before. I know it was a risk, but it was a mixed animal display and I was the only one with...
