Let me know when the time comes to rehome and I will see where I am in the rooster/cockerel department.

He's ready to go any time (but must go when he crows).

Her name is Chrysanthemum & I call her Chrissy for short.
She's yours if you want her.

Thanks! I am going to try to find adults but it it doesn't work I will order from them.

He's ready to go any time (but must go when he crows).

Right now is tough.... I have more than enough boys and am planning to keep one from a spring hatch. I will be lighter in the cockerel dept. at the end of the month by 4. Then I can look at my 4 pens and really figure out what to do. I do want him and hope he holds off on the crowing for a month or so

since I don't have spot for him right now.

Just had to pop in and say WHoooohooooo!

I just got to see my first ever hatch from my own flock push its way out of the shell!

Sorry for the bad cell phone shot - I'm more than a little excited right now!

Why does that chicken have a fur coat?

If it's air, it's probably a ruptured air sac (Subcutaneous Emphysema).

Incredible information. When it is not nearly midnight I shall go through and look at all of it closely. Thank you so much! I knew someone would be able to point me the right direction. Such a weird thing to have happen. I hope it isn't contagious!

Quote: The few time it happened with mine it was not contagious. One was an injury, the others I can't say for sure.

Yes, I noticed her.

I need one that is an enduring broody.
