You sure??? I think you missed some.....

Nope, thats the lot.
Out of the 70, there is only 11 hens, two roosters 10 pullets, 7 cockerels, and the rest are chicks of varying ages.

I just did a head count of mine.....39!

That is a more reasonable number!

Mine's a bit like that too....3 Roos, 8 hens, and the rest are chicks of various ages....

I only have 2 roosters, 4 hens and 5 pullets... 25 chicks of various ages... and half a dozen eggs in the incubator due on Sunday...
The most I remember having was 50+ and that wasn't the broody hens fault I fully blame the roosters!

How's everyone going?

Here is a photo of one the cuckoo Marans pullets that I hatched.

And here is one of her brothers, who has got the funniest leg feathers. I keep thinking he has got something stuck to his legs!

I am well, been quite hot recently.
Moved most of the chicks to a big shaded run today.

ohh I love Marans although I only currently have one (must hatch some more). I'm doing great, popped 22 chicken eggs and 12 Muscovy in the incubator today

Its been hot here too!
The river near us has finally come down to is normal summer height, and really warmed up; good for swimming!
Are the dark chicks Barnevelders?
