EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[dan26552]

Soooo pretty! But I guess I want friendly too. . I'm just wanting maybe six hens afraid I'll be in trouble with a roo. No one has complained about my ducks yet but don't wanna push my luck. I want them to be nice and friendly though. I don't need a ton of eggs so mostly going to be pets with the eggs as a bonus lol

Well considering they'll fly into my shoulder I'd say they're pretty friendly.

You can't have roosters, I gather? Shame - I LOVE LOVE LOVE my roosters...

Ain't you seen Jace? Now she's eye candy. She's the speckled hen in my pics.

Most of the noise complaints that happen in my neighborhood are about rooster s. And then people usually have to get rid of them

Banty is there a link or chart for egg weight loss and how to calculate it?

I recently found him a new home. I'm always glad when I can find the bantam roos a good place to stay... Butchering them feels mean, 'cos they're so sweet.

Nice!

A good rooster is worth his weight in gold. A bad one makes his weight in dinner.
