...on the subject of roosters, I have a general rooster question....I have one, in a flock of 8. He's young, he was born mid-Sept, to early Oct. He looks almost full sized, and he hasn't crowed a peep! Seems the previous ones I had were crowing long before this age...Am I safe? Is he likely to never start crowing?

Roosters will crow... if he doesnt than you need to make special breed of non-crowing roosters... hahaha... you'd have millions of customers.

The start of crowing depends on the breed. I have egg farm leghorn cockerels that start crowing around 12-16 weeks and I also have brahmas that start crowing at 24+ weeks. I think it may depend on how fast the breed matures and the duration of light per day (seasonal).

Were you over there today? I am assuming the seramas are roos too? Must go see Veronica now

I was taking advantage of the dry warm day and started working on my spring projects like move the coop a few feet and starting the mini chicken garden in concrete blocks (as seen in pic)... Anyways I walked away for 30secs and came back to a chicken. Nothing strange normally but they were all in the coop investigating the changes, I am pretty sure she waited for me to walk away to run over there

.

THEN suddenly there was four chickens under my feet! "Let's get in mom's way so she can't finish what she's doing"
If only they knew it was soon going to have tons of treats for them.
