Well...yes...and really, I don't have any way to KNOW who is laying two eggs a week or what.
I wish I could figure out a way to trapnest them so I COULD know that. Not for culling purposes, but for breeding purposes.
If I had a hen who was laying an egg a day I would be sure to HATCH...
Mine are hens, so at the moment, except for some young birds, I don't have any Roos.
My big big RIR rooster sort of got culled.
He SERIOUSLY attacked me. I don't know why. He had always been a nice and a gentle bird.
But anyway, my husband shot him and his brother in law took the hackles...
I plan to keep mine. I always get dual purpose birds, not heavy production birds that wear out sooner, in hopes that I will get eggs for a long time.
And then they can retire and eat bugs in the sun.
