From egg to chick!

We all need a big plot of land. Fr fr.

Oof. Definitely. 1 and a half acres is not enough

Lucky and Thales. Both I have deemed cockerels by now. Only way to tell them apart is feathers and that Lucky is a bit bigger. Idk what Lucky's DNA has going on but he is the biggest cockerel out of the barnyard mixes.

Seems like she needs more courting. But it's a rather positive start. A video would really help in determining behaviour, but it sounds like first-timer awkwardness

Tried again today but she avoided him like the plague.

 

[fluffycrow]

Yup, they are indeed cockerels

Pfff oh well. You win some, you lose some. Maybe tomorrow will be better

My girls appear to be avoiding the boys as well how am I supposed to hatch eggs if they stick to their independent ways?

Maybe. Snape really wants some wives. When do I need to worry about the little cockerels I have trying to strut their stuff? I assume a little while since they are only 11ish weeks old.

Right? Idk how successful pullets are at fertilized eggs compared to older hems, but I am ready to gather a few and see what kind of baby Olivia and Snape make.

Lucky likes to lounge around. Thales is nosey and will peck at my clothes. Any speck or stray thread.

Patience is not your thing is it? give them a little time, her eggs will get bigger too so the chicks have more room and nutrients.

I can't say much, since I'm setting pullet eggs shortly...
