I do appreciate the support. I take these things hard. I gave her 60 ml. x2 of water and baby bird food. I think M mcM skipped vaccinating a couple of the chicks I bought last year.

@Alaskan you might just need to built a rooster grow out pen.As long as there are no pullets, no fights. or so i hear.

@Alaskan , This is not always true. If the roosters are kept totally separated you are fine. If you keep them penned up together, one may be more dominant and the other may become his "mate". I had 3 roosters in a chicken tractor. After feeding time, they would get excited & the low man in the pecking order became their new hen.

I have another pen with 2 CCL brothers & various hens. There is at least 5 hens in there at any given time & we rotate them out. These 2 brothers have not fought each other, but do fight through the cages with other roosters.

@minihorse927 , That is chick is freaky. Thanks for sharing it though. Learning.

When we were feeding our chickens last night, I was thinking how we should make a reality show. Come on, everyone has a reality show!
Let the public know that it takes a good 2 hours a day to feed and water 145(ish) chickens, 9 rabbits & 2 dogs.
Show them that on occasion a bug flies up your nose, or chicken **** is splashed into your face.
Sometimes it gets so slippery that you fall.

And no matter how tall those boots are, most times you get covered in poo & take 2 showers a day.
How my arms and hands consistently have scratches on them from a chicken, or rabbit.
The fact that somewhere around here, there is always a Houdini or 2 or 20.
That no matter how much you clean the coop, there is always more to clean. That chickens poop in their water & drink it

.
And they poop in the rabbits' water, but the rabbits will not drink it!
That if you don't have the correct feed bowls for rabbits, they will spill it every time. (Which makes the chickens happy).
That baby chicks hatching is like magic popcorn. They say drugs are addictive, what about chickens??? LOL!
The highs of chicks being born & the lows of a chicken dying

. I could go on & on, but I don't have time.

In other news: It's been so rainy out. At least every other day. I am so sick of rain and our chicken lot is more like a pig lot. It's so nasty. I am going to bed it down with straw this weekend. You all have a good day. I gotta go to work.
