aw heck. avary and snowflake are fighting.

NOoooooo I love both of them

What's the plan?

I have 5 ladies in a separate coop with no man. they sleep there nightly and free range as a group but do interact with the others and I saw foghorn mount one of them yesterday so it's not a solid plan...but locking one of them up with those 5 for a bit and letting the other boy have the pullets they were fighting over.

That may work.

you didn't tell me their names then!!!!!
if you had been like 'this one is snowflake' I would have been like 'oh he is BABY you have to keep him' but you were just like 'a cockerel'
