He was dead this morning

But that's okay. So 1 EE egg made it, and 1 Red Sex link X EE roo made it.

Which honestly, is okay. Because unless I butcher my 4 fullsized cochins that aren't tame (I just threw them in with my ducks, and my ducks taught them to be avoidant of people) I really didn't need extra chickens.

I wouldn't mind keeping the girls, but the boy roosters need to go.

You know - I find the work of animals far less than the never ending supply of housework.

Or maybe because it's that I actually *enjoy* the animals... and not the housework?

I got up early to check on my baby chicks, instead of sleeping in, when the kids were going to let me do for once. Oops.
Baby chick didn't make it, but the other 2 did that hatched well.

I was also awake, already thinking of how to fix my turkey pen, the stupid things poop so much compared to chickens, their entire pen is just covered in poop. I need to rake it out and put some fresh straw in there... or something.

Sounds like you've got a busy weekend. Goats and chicks are doing well. I gotta clean coops and move chicks around this weekend also.

The birds have been watered (literally. The boys are sparring. One is a little bloody) and the duck pool filled. A SPR hen keeps escaping the pen, then wanting back in. I had to go inside the pen anyway, so I tossed another hen and I'm hoping Kenny Rogers out to free range.
