Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

They're aurosexing. Roos hatch with a spot on their heads. Pullets don't have the spot. Fluff color is different too.

awesome - ok what do they look like?

Sorry! I cant download any, but i can describe? Silkies are two roos, one black one gray, and poor, dear sunny,, a white female, who is the one most bullied by my bsl, Night.
My oldest babies are rhode island reds going on 2 years and i origonaly had 10,but dogs got two and one passed as a chick. Now i only have seven, soon to be six, because we are culling the egg cracking hen. Into the stew pot she goes! the naughty thing.
The younger beauties are different breeds. A rhode island red hatched a barnyard mix egg, the others didn't make it, so we got more. The barnyard gal is called Blackhawk, the Black sex link is Night, the california white is Fidget, the Production red is Maple(a slightly mean hen, but not too bad. She is at the bottom of the the pecking order and really torn up), the younger rir is Autumn, and Pecker, another beat up gal from our tiny silkie roos is an australorp.

Oooo pretty! Ok maybe a few of those too....

Yup gonna need a bigger barn... and more work to pay for all these !

The Sultans are only sold as straight run boohoo - so that is NO GO for me. I am not willing to risk any Roos - too much heart ache there

But Cream Legbars are $9 each for pullets

Different keeping circumstances and the relationship between the males is likely to produce different results.

Thanks for dropping by.

Seems like you have moved into chicken algebra.
