Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

That is a good idea.

If I were closer I would take them put them in the roo pen and re home them for her

Abigail is not happy. We cannot take on any more chooks, and it is hot here. So my siblings took the wooden eggs out of the nest. Abigail is trying to figure out what to do. I think she may stop being broody. Yesterday she was panting up there and everything. I feel sorry for her, but I would rather her not overheat up there or be sitting there for 21 days hatching wood. If she stayed, I would just get her some chicks.

I have ceramic eggs the girls just push them to the side like mom thats fake lol none are broody

We just happened to have wooden eggs. They believe they are real. Gaby will flare her hackles if she sees one.

Unless no one wants another roo .
Sometimes it is hard to face the reality we live in. But we have to sometimes .

I have tons of people on fb looking for roos and chicks way to many on the fb state website and chicken websites. Thats how I sold my olive eggers, five of them.

I'm glad you have a way to rehome if necessary.

You may need to do a roo coop then or your girls won't thank you. Also, if the boys really get into a fight, they can kill a hen who inadvertently gets between them due to being entirely focused on the opponent

I agree and if you have limited space then you should limit your roosters but 2 per tribe is good.

Yes I did

What did they say?

Actually these don't

Really? Awwww such sweeties! Mine are little terrors!

I will never kill a rooster because its a boy. I would rather rehome them. I find that killing because of sex is barbaric. They didnt do anything wrong.
I have 5 roos all will live a happy live 2 of the silkies are roos.

Because “Roos need love too!”

Calcium citrate 250mg twice daily. But I can’t get her to eat anything. Forcing her doesn’t work. She coughed out the last time I tried
