I don't think my millies are ready to lay any time soon. I notice they keep knocking the roos away from them. Tennessee is very glad I put 2 project girls in his pen. They give him the adoration he craves and are always near him. The 3 millie hens are so relieved that they aren't even giving the two n00bs the 'pecking order' treatment!
TNB has resigned himself to being a forage provider and cuddler. It's the only time his ladies pay him any attention. When he dances, they all turn their backs on him and walk off in a huff.
The project boy doesn't seem to be in any hurry to breed anyone. He's too busy showing off by picking fights with the roos on either side of his pen. He did make sure his girls ate all the scratch I threw in their pen last night. He has some manners, at least.
Orion is the only roo with a willing (and laying) hen in the pen. I hope we stay above freezing so I can get more viable eggs in the bator...
My daughter's science class wants to borrow a bator and eggs for hatching. I had no problem with this until she said she wanted to use the
Brinsea. Um, WHAT?
She doesn't like the ida of them using a styrobator and I don't like the idea of my good bator being at the school.
They say I am getting all the chicks back, and I sure hope that's true, because if they borrow my best bator then I'm filling it with d'Uccle eggs, too!!!
