Tell me everything I need to know about your SSHs!
I already have 3 EEs, 1 Barred Rock, 2 RIRs who are 1-2 years old. My new SSH chicks arrive next week and I will again be loving raising new chicks and challenged with integrating flocks in Mar/April.
I started with three hens and had to integrate 1 year olds with 3 months olds. Took a bit of work, but managed to integrate them all after a bit of "switching around". I actually enjoyed the process since it involved some thought and a logical integration scheme, plus a little bit of "chicken dedication".
So, all you SSH owners, tell me when you had your first egg and what you have noticed about your hens. Also, if you did a flock integration, please share what you learned!!! My sweet new chicks arrive from Ohio (hopefully healthy!) and I am sooooo looking forward to a few new chicks! All you wonderful SSH owners, help me out
