I only count chicks hatched then I forget anyway lol. I should keep track. I am about ready to do some rooster swapping, naked neck and jersey giant. Something different to hatch out. Just saw last weekend I have two red naked necks, could've swore there was three. Was debating whether or not to use them or just use white and black. Plenty of snow outside and no evidence of a predator nabbing. Maybe I only had two of them IDK :idunno
Lol!

I lost a nice cockerel I was planning on using as a replacement rooster a couple weeks ago. He was already the head honcho in his flock.
It was right at dusk when I was making the rounds closing up. There were 35 birds in the building and he was the only one killed. Nothing eaten. Not sure what happened but a huge feral cat had been hanging out at that coop at dusk every evening. The only thing I can figure is the cat tried to take a smaller bird and the rooster confronted it and then the cat heard me coming and escaped before it ate anything.
A raccoon would have eaten something. A fox or coyote would have carried it off. A mink wouldn't have stopped till it killed everything in the building.
:idunno
It had been well below freezing so I just took the rooster out and kept it in the back of the truck. It finally thawed out a couple days ago and I grilled him up and fed him back to the chickens yesterday.

I'm setting the first batch of eggs for 2018 on January 28. I'm shipping 25 eggs to Florida and whatever eggs I end up collecting after I ship those will go in the incubator.

FOUND IT although if laws changed since 2015, not sure but the numbers there. I've heard "immpossible to make any connections" but know going online & email is a good way to make contact & have documentation....I know cause I've dealt with them when moving back to HI with my dog.

Bad luck, huh? That's a shame, sorry. My best breeder prospect for the PCs decided he didn't like this weather and became a chronic sickie. Oh joy. If birds don't make you pull your hair out one way, they'll do it the other.

My Pen.guy is doing well. With 16 hens to himself right now, but that is going to change when I add three hens and a young cock to the group.

It's nice to have spares. I have a one rooster that is completely unrelated to my birds who is in sick bay. I've treated him for bumblefoot several times. Had him to the vet twice. The last time it cost me $300 with X-rays. Bumblefoot is gone but the vet thinks it is cancer. I wasn't willing to have more tests done. He gave me an antibiotic in case it is bacterial and a anti-inflammatory for pain.
He's more mobile now but still has a week of meds left. I hope to get him back in the breeding business for a bit to get some more offspring. I do have some of his kids but since my wife hid my pedigree notebook, I don't know which ones. I really need to find that book.
