Arizona Chickens

Ok so I think my mystery chick is a D'Uccle afterall, cutest chipmunk cheeks!! My daughter (age 7) and I are stressing, looking at chick pics trying to figure out if it's a girl or boy. So... I had an idea (probably not a good one 🤣) to just add a couple more to our bunch so we increase the odds of girls. These two new ones are also D'uccle, and I have two silkie chicks too 🥰 I think I need some acreage 🤣

They get settled you can always see about getting hatching eggs. :) just found out that a friend has frizzle silkies, going to look at getting some hatching eggs from them to add to my flock.
My goal is to get rid of chickens not add to my flock right now. I am working on a fully Nn flock other than my Dorking mix girl Cuckoo.

I hope that you have plan's established in advance if you have any roo's but can't keep them. Most people don't want or can't have any roo's. Very few of my extra's get to be rehomed for breeding, and most of them go for food.

I will offer them to a group I belong to, especially since they are a nice bantam breed. But the pet store has told me they'll take them back for breeding. That was my first question before I bought them. BUT! i have heard of some roosters (silkie or D'Uccle) that are very quiet... so there is the chance of keeping one if its mellow enough.

I just didn't want you to be disappointed in how hard that the roo's are to rehome sometime's. Maybe it will be easier now though with the bigger breed's, with this meat shortage that's supposed to be hitting us.

Oh, my daughter and I have already been crying about the prospect of sending Minnie Mouse away! So it's definitely on our mind. The shop is selling out though, so I'll have to drive a bit to their further location if I want to give it to them, but that's an option. I know it's not likely, but I want to at least TRY to live with my roo (probably not more than one though). I already have this one stepping up and it knows its name (so cute!!)... my vibe is it's a roo though :((((( I really hope not!!

Well, not all rooster's are mean one's, but some are. I wish you luck, and hope that if it's a nice boy that you will think about keeping him. I have a nice rooster over here, but he's not a bantam size.
