Flash laid her first egg of the season. Noticed the trauma on my thumb cuticle. It took a rat snap trap.

We had a 6-2 pullet to roo ratio from the eggs last year...

Show off! I had the complete opposite here…

Well if you want those other 'two' Roos than for sure - otherwise Wee Marty is SOL on the chick front unless she is broody when I go to get the wee monkeys in April

You know having Mr P settled and around to raise any boys up to be well behaved little gents… you can never have too many GOOD roosters! we had a couple people drive out to see the beach, they stopped to see the chickens, of course we were out walking the goats and they eventually caught up to us on the road. “How many Roosters do you Have out there… there’s so many boys!” Was a lovely opening for a half hour discussion of Roosters and flock dynamics. As well as a brief “well the chickens aren’t really pettable, but hold on here’s my Rooster! You can pet him!” Moment. Scarface wasn’t sure what to think of this. Sammy had made himself unavailable at the other end of the yard, then Pretty Boy decided to demonstrate chicken Romance our guests were very enlightened on the way of the Chicken today.

We lost 2 before gender could be determined. We also were battling cold to get the eggs. Just after we started the incubator I read an article (shared here, I think, so was last april) about a study seeming to say eggs exposed to colder temps increased pullet hatching. One batch of chicks isn't enough to prove that premise though.
