It is near impossible to not name them after you've fallen in loveYes, Creamsicle is a rooster. Today I found patches of rooster red coming in. I'll probably keep him as long as I can because he's going to look so pretty and unique, but I'll need to find a new home for him. I'm also tempted of letting Cinnabar go with him. They are so close that it would be a crime to separate them. Oh what to do ...
The guy I got my birds from is doing another hatch due next week. Perhaps I could get more then. But what would integration be like for roughly day olds and a four month old if I do keep Cinnabar?
From here on out, no more names until I know for sure they are hens. I might even have to cut down how much I love them until I know. I need to be strong enough to return them.
I'm learning! they ate chicken todayI have the leek discussion with my ladies quite often. Cooking them is where we have settled out.
Talk to me after you've had my potato leek soup!I can see that. Leeks are an acquired taste.
I learn so much from reading here. Giving Cillin his own coop wouldn't have been on my radar.Cillin has taken to coming round for a visit at least once a day since he moved into his own coop. He doesn't seem to be after treats. If I'm sitting at the computer or at the kitchen table ne settles down right by my legs and sort of dozes for a while.
He's getting to mate with most of the hens at some point or another and I often see him with a small group as I check on every bodies whereabouts during the day.
Treacle still chases him away if he finds him with a group of hens but recently I've seen Treacle not bother if Cillin is away from the main tribe with just one hen.
Cillin seems happy enough with his coop. He goes to roost about the same time as the rest. He even escorts the hens to the tribe coop before going to roost in his if there are nay straggles.

My babies (feathery and otherwise) are well appointed. If you think the seed block looks good, you should smell the chick cake they have!! It is like a honey dessert.Looks good enough for me to eat! Cock a doodle do! I didn’t fool you, did I?
My goodness, so funny! How is she doing Shad?Tribe 1 exiting my coop after a successful raid. Fat Bird making sure they haven't left anything edible behind.

I’m excited. We can share poop slides on this thread! My friend @Hen Pen Jem also does her own fecal floats. She shared her info with me, but I accidentally deleted the email and need to resend her my email address.I would definitely be interested. Thank you Bob! I believe my son is buy a microscope, so I can borrow his. I just won't tell him it's for looking at chicken poop...
Happy birds! Who is that with the big ‘ol crop? Is that Mel?Tribe 1 exiting my coop after a successful raid. Fat Bird making sure they haven't left anything edible behind.
