lol~ Yes, I just had 2 egg sandwiches for free, ( almost ). The boys are beautiful. . The down side to the last 2 Roo's is I paid the price for Hens & they turned into Roo's. Those 2 are Olive egger & the other is an amaurcana (sp) X Cochan. I have 2 Maran Roos & 2 bantam Roos. They really do well together.
I love my roos too. I have more than I need but they are so pretty and I love to watch them call the girls for food.
the rooster roundup is fairly new for us. we have no set time frame as to when we will have another one.
It sort of depends on how often we hear "I have a rooster that I don't want and I don't know what to do with it."
The rooman will not take babies,they have to be half grown. I am not positive but I don't think he will take silkies.
We are as always a work in progress. each year department of agriculture rules change as well as market conditions. everything is subject to change. it is good that you ask questions. quite often what we did last year or the year before is very different from the way things are done now. but isn't that true of everything in life. I still remember when gas was thirty cents a gallon. now an egg salad sandwich at a gas station costs four dollars.
Came home from the swap to have my very first Turkey hatch!!!! YAY
