I hope this is the right place to place this.............
My Wheaten Marans Hens have been living in relative peace and quiet for the last 6 months. They started laying eggs in January and
now are laying 6-7 eggs a day of pretty decent color (5-6 consistently after starting w/6-7's).
I did have 7 roosters, but I gave them to Mr. DeGiacomo for him to enjoy. An elderly Italian-born gentleman from Calabria, Mr. D enjoys his garden,
bunnies, chickens, fig trees, wine and assorted other interests on his hillside farm. I called him a few weeks back to ask about the roos and he informed me they were
delicious and would I like to come over on Super Bowl Sunday for the final feast. I told him that I wanted a stay of execution, so I could mate him with my
hens and get a couple of hatches out of them. I assured Mr. D that I would reward him with more chicks for his cooking pleasure. He seemed fine with that.
So the rooster is in with the hens. How long will it be before I can start putting eggs in the bator?
