Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

I'm curious, are your roosters full grown, or are they cockerels still? Will you keep both in with the 8-10 hens in one pen all the time? Are they all together now?

I have 2 cockerels, 2 pullets and 8 hens that I would love to have all in one pen at some point. Just not sure if it will work out. I'm thinking I'll have to have two pens with 5 hens to a rooster when the time comes.

:woot coming along nicely!!!
Yeah, will have to cut some big branches for perches! And I need to buy some vinyl flooring.
 
Just took the first English muffins from the oven... brown them in my old cast iron skillet but like to let them bake so there is no raw dough .... We have a great sunny day on tap here you all know Punxatawney Phil said early spring not sure if we can believe him

They're in the beginning stages now. 3 of the youngsters are crowing and one of them tried to mate with the 6 month old pullet. All of the older girls are taken and won't have anything to do with them. They haven't taken on the older boy and they have no one to fight over as their hatchmates aren't laying yet.
Okay...that's where I was a few weeks ago, but now they are just too hormonal, clumsy and inadvertently aggressive. I don't think they mean to be, they just don't understand their role yet. I'll be interested to know how yours work out.

Those look good, Penny! Sharing with the coffee crowd?

Speaking of which, I am so tired today, I just put on a late pot of coffee. Help yourself folks if you want a cup. I'll probably regret this when I want to go to sleep later. :lol:
 
Hi everyone, mind if I pop in the back door and join y'all for a cup of something? Little late in the day for coffee for me, unless decaf and frankly I'm not that desperate, But a glass of ice tea or a cup of hot chocolate sounds pretty darn tempting right now.

@CapricornFarm, I have caught the coop building bug. (Much preferable to the Coronavirus) Don't know how I am going to break the news to DH but I have a plan spinning around in my head that has to do with enlarging my little prefab grow out coop that I got for Christmas two years ago. Time to put my table saw to use!
