I'm so glad you came back Geezer! I had read your post right after you posted it before there was more than one reply. My immediate reaction was one of immense sorrow. I could empathize, picturing myself having to face a decision over hens that I love very much. What you faced was wrenching. I sensed your deep emotional conflict.

I was so upset that I couldn't get to sleep last night, and had to get up and look at your post again. That's when I found over a dozen very emotional replies. That should tell you that the dilemma you faced is one shared by a great many of us. It's a problem with few happy solutions.

I tried to think of solutions and couldn't. The one reply suggesting you might have tried pinless peepers was a very good one, but it was kind of buried in an angry tirade. It did lodge in my mind, though, as a possible solution should I face this problem myself. I might make it a point to get some pinless peepers and keep them on hand. Does anyone know where they can be purchased?

I'm glad you didn't let the bullies run you off. I'd love to hear how many your broody hatches out. Last year I had a broody bantam cochin. I'm not sure how old she is - 3 or 4, maybe. I kept her when I culled the other non-layers hoping she'd go broody again this year. No such luck. No broodies at all. Oh well, maybe next year. I can wait. Anyway, I'm glad you came back. I've read posts of yours in the past, and you do have good information for those who are looking for help.

You did what you had to do, and it got misinterpreted. I know that you are one of the "good guys."
