11 boys?? Oh my! It’s the worst when you hatch them yourself too! You want to keep them all cuz they’re YOUR babies!I know! We currently have I think 11, and most of them we hatched out!
Thank you, and I am too!
At least! Oh yes. We have never culled or re-homed one in our seven, almost 8 years of chicken keeping.11 boys?? Oh my! It’s the worst when you hatch them yourself too! You want to keep them all cuz they’re YOUR babies!
That’s so awesome! I wish we had the space to keep them allAt least! Oh yes. We have never culled or re-homed one in our seven, almost 8 years of chicken keeping.
I live in a neighborhood and while our lot is almost a 1/4 acre, the neighbors would NOT be cool with 10 roosters haha. I have kept 2 of the 12 I have bought as straight run babies…and each one leaves a little hole when they go 
we made a Collage of Sadness of each boy we rehomed so we can remember them fondly. Some day! I will have all the space to keep all the chickens 
They are stunning!I feel pretty good about them being pulletsthey are 3.5 months old now and quite possibly my most favorite birds
Thank you!! I just love the color with the floofinessThey are stunning!
Haha, thank you! So far the feathers look much more normal than my Lav Orp who most definitely has the cursed genes! If he mates with other lavenders will he pass that on? I’d rather not use him to breed if it is a dominant gene!
He will definitely pass it on, although generally, birds who are not lavender don’t show the gene.
Well damn. I wanted to see what the babies of my boy and the Ameraucana girls were like. He’s just the best boy and they’re such awesome girls! Thanks!
I will bow at your feet, @Crested Special if these birds end up being male.
@kurby22 be sure to update.
