My *very evil* plans: (that probably won't happen but i can try)
-standard chicken flock
-bantam flock
-bachelor pad/rooster rescue (or as 2 separate entities)
-ducks
-pigeons+quail
-sheep
That doesn't even include the house pets. My goal is to live and die surrounded by animals. In maine...
Don't worry-my dream home is a hobby farm in the maine countryside. A place that allows roos is a must! I'd love to have a bachelor pad/rooster rescue some day.
Believe me- as soon as I can, I will! I have evil plans that involve a LOT of chickens, so hatching will have to help build that up! Right now, the main blockers are cost and roosters-parents WILL NOT allow a roo. Neither will neighbors.
Of course! I haven't been lucky enough to have the opportunity to incubate, so I just jealously look at the incubation threads on here. (parents+rooster laws+money=no incubator)
Leghorns almost never go broody, sadly (or not sadly depending on what you want from them) If you get a rooster, you would get fertile eggs from your hens and you could incubate those-I know that in the US there is never a shortage of extra roos. If you do that you want to try to have 6+ hens...
