All My Chickens..... a coop opera!

[WhoDatChick]

I love the black one with the most white, what color was he/she?

Oh, and those are the new chicks that just hatched...

I am really envious of those of you who can rehome - I don't know how I would do that here. I might find someone who was willing to butcher and stock their freezer, but even that I am not sure I could find someone (let alone have the emotional fortitude to do so). How do you find folk willing to take your chickens you want to rehome?

I have quite a few friends that have chickens... and each situation is different.. as in, which chicken, chicks, or rooster that each different person may be willing to take.. if that makes sense? I have been very lucky in I was able to rehome 3 roosters.. to homes, not to be eaten.. my four bantams.. my bully Kathryn... and now the Wyandotte chicks that I’m raising...which will be going this week! It is very difficult to make the decision to rehome.. especially when you’re hopelessly in love as I was with my bantams... and still hard when you know you do not want a rooster... or even a bully.. which isn’t quite as hard! But when you know it’s for the best in the long run you can come to terms with it and know it’ll be okay. I have had anxiety each time I did this

I think you have that backwards. Would you like to weigh in @Ribh

Oh, am I mistaken here!? I thought she always disagreed with us... or is it that she still thinks their great no matter?

I think her latest full sized ones may be meaner. She had bantams before. In a way we both may be correct.

they were constantly broody!!

Isn't that the truth!
My white one just won't give up!

My experience with Wyandottes is mixed ~ which is why you are both sort of right, @BY Bob & @WhoDatChick. All my Wyandotte bantams have been super sweet. Lottie, Alpia & Wrold are all Wyandottes. My only GLW was Gloriana & she could be really mean. Portia is a SLW Frizzle & not mean @ all. Shuri is a GLW Frizzle, also not mean. I don't think Gloriana ever reached Sansa's level of mean. Most of the bantams could put her in her place. So for me it's the Goldies to be beware of.

Thank you!
I always said I’d never have another Wyandotte... I had a real bully in the past... Kathry.. I rehomed her...View attachment 2738939

I get it. I ran into a friend I haven't seen in a while & found out she's got into chickens too so we decided to swap pics. While she was oohing & aahing over My frizzles & Japs She showed me her ~ RIRs!!! Now there's a breed I just wouldn't keep. Yes, I know people with lovely ones but a mean one has no counterparts!

Holly, Bootie's mother, had another go at being broody, but she finally gave up!
But his aunt, (the stinky white one) no end in sight!

Ruby.. leader of the flock... not a bully but not nice either
She is definitely getting grumpier as she gets older!
