Gotta have them.

Oh finally got a flashlight to candle. Looks like they are both developing but I cant tell to much of what is in the egg--It could be an emu for all I cna see. I just see a clear part & dark part that is it!
 
I usually don't candle them until day 18 when I move them down to the hatching tray. I just look for the air cell and if the rest of the eggs is all dark.
 
Hi all, looking forward to the swap and yard sale. Gosh my 2 favorite things.
I have a delemma. My neighbor has a Barred Rock rooster. He's huge, at least 10 pounds . He's a real gentleman to the hen, but the hen got her head ripped off some night a few months ago and the neighbor never noticed till I told him a week later. One time a crow got into the run and he went after it and ended up hangin upside down by a leg on the fence. I happened to see him and jumped the fence and rescued him. He had his eyes closed and I thought he was dead. But I held him for a long time and he finally acted normal.
He is living in a 4x8 pen and they never let him out, I've asked them a million times. They feed him just corn. Leftovers now and then.
I'm thinking he does not like men. He's never attacked me. But has attacked the neighbor man next door.
Is anyone interested? I feel real sorry for him cause he's stuck in this tiny pen staring at my hens all day. I have 5 roos already. I am pretty heartsick over the conditions he's living in.
His name is Morton .

Somebody save Morton.

Jeez I don't know that it is safe to bring the kids to this swap, chickens AND yard sale.......... I don't think I make enough

How loud is Morton? I may would take him and give my four girls a man. I know he's the neighbors but do u have any pics of him?
 
kdcrws, I will post a pic of him tonight. I have 5 roos already. I have 2 roos that are much louder than him. He is not ear breaking loud, and he doesn't hit those high notes like mine do. And he crows less than they do. I'm going to say he's average loud. 2 of my roos are equal to him and 2 are alot louder. He's a big guy, LOL.

If no one wants him let me know. I am sure I can provide a home for him. I am gettin fond of the rocks. thanks.
edited cause I had to say some times the chicken is smarter than the people taking care of him & maybe the guy next door just has something the chicken figured out to be bad! All animals are smart that way.
