Come Ramble With Me!

Did you hatch out just the two or is there more?
Also Do you plan to brood them indoors until they're six weeks? Mine started living outside at just 3 and a half weeks old because the mess they made was indescribable and it was just TIME

My mom also happens to be severely allergic to bird dander or something so I spared her the headache (literally) and kicked them out of the house.

Oh exciting!
What breeds are in the incubator?

I don't know how they do it, but I would come home to a toxic waste zone every day.

I’m trying to decide. I’m sure at least one of the three silkies we got yesterday is a cockerel (just because they were SR)

But, if it’s really sweet, maybe I could keep it?

I don’t know...

The only reason I don’t have any roosters is because I told myself at the beginning of chicken keeping no because I’ve had bad experiences with mean ones... but a silkie rooster could be a little sweeter? (The bad experience rooster was a mean RIR I was taking care of for a neighbor while they were on vacation... I had to carry a shovel around...)

But I think that they didn’t have a very good ratio of roosters to hens (1:2)

But maybe a silkie rooster would be different... I guess I’ll have to see....

More Calls.

I'm sort of falling into the trap where I want a couple of calls too but I've promised myself no more dux until next year. I've already got my hands full and will probably be hatching chicks this summer.
