He's a pretty boy.

Yes he is. Out of the 6 chicks there all cockerels.

Eat one the other day. I had to make an 8x8 pen and moved the 5 to it. They are the meanest and most aggressive birds I have ever seen. I have mine up for sale. If nobody buys them around here I will probably eat all 5.

i sell chicks on craigs list routinely.

i have to offload the byproduct of incubating somehow

I do the same. Just sold 3 Heritage Delawares yesterday! Everbody I seen come over has been really nice. I'm really good at judging people. Just have to talk with them for a minute and can pretty much tell you exactly how they are.

i will be going into lockdown with guineas ducks turkey and peafowl on thursday.= you guys have atleast 96 hours to wait.

the easiest way to fix this is to have weekly hatches. ask sally.

I haven't incubated in nearly 2 months, but I did candle some eggs yesterday. My fantail pigeons decided to nest (again) and I had very little hope because their eggs have always been infertile. But this time, 2 of the 4 eggs are developing! I'm so excited for squabs!

Here are the parents:

What Oz says is very true. Weekly hatches are the best cure.

All roosters and no hens... what rotten luck... When you say that they are aggressive, do they actually try to attack you?

All of my buff laced polish appear to be hens. I was hoping to breed them, but I guess it's better than all roosters.

No. They don't attack me. But they attack everybody else. And they guard the food. Won't let nobody eat. I can see some aggressiveness when they all roosters in there but they are too much.

It depends on the breed. What breed are they?
