Kurt crowbain... funny funny.

Oh yes...late teen/early 20's during the Nirvana era. Was listening to Nirvana interviews and songs on Sirius Lithium yesterday while cleaning out their brooder box so it just struck me since I hadn't named him yet.

A fantastic name indeed! I wish I could have come up with at least one clever name for ours. But my boys named them, so alas...

Lemon, Honey, Blueberry, Strawberry, Ginger, and Raspberry.

My new chicken condo is open for business! I thought I'd have trouble with the hens, but it was the two roosters that caused the most ruckus. They are not happy at all being separated from their girls. I had the two roosters separated and supposedly could not see each other, but of course, they managed to find one tiny hole to peck at each other through. Before I knew it, both of their combs were bloody. Soooooo, I moved one to the second floor, they definitely cannot get anywhere near each other now. Have to rethink the rooster apartments, but right now I'm tired and it can wait a few days. One of the roosters is heading to the stew pot anyway, so I could probably wait quite a while before I have to rethink the apartments.

Anyway, thought I'd give everyone an update. The hens have done a bit of pecking at each other, but nothing serious at all. No chasing, I put two waterers and two feeders out so that they don't have to crowd each other to eat and drink. I guess the real test will be tonight when they go into the new home to roost.

Bumpercar: what age are ur birds?

I've got quite a range of birds. The oldest rooster is 2 years old, the younger one is 8 months. Both have been covering hens. I've got some laying hens that are also 2 years old, some 8 month old pullets and some 6 week old unsexed that are all going into the hen apartment. I also have some 2 weeks olds in the brooder, eggs hatching this weekend, eggs hatching in 2 weeks and eggs coming for the next two weeks so I'll be hatching for the next 5 weeks at least. I think I'll take a break at that point, I should have enough stock to pick and choose what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of.
