Granny's gone and done it again

Yeah, i know that much. I know the cinnamon colored one is a hen. And there is a purple one that i have seen sitting on the nest. You should see how much they run! Completely nuts. The ear lobe things are supposed to be rounder and bigger on the males. Females have the bottom of the earlobes flatter looking.

They’d probably knock me over.

do you have a separate place/pen where you could put them one by one and keep track of the of production if production drops by one you have a hen and then band her return he to the flock and stick another in solitary confinement ??

that sounds like a bunch of work

I did think about that. I am planning on cleaning out the lean-to, so i could put one or 2 in cages at a time and see who lays. I would have to catch them at night, otherwise too crazy!

I am going to assume that if the hen's current roo isn't available she will find another by spring.

Maybe if i sat in the hoop coop with them i could figure it out by the noises they make. I rarely sit still outside.

I'd never find him in a snow storm or if he was stuck in a snow bank

but I thought even most birds who "mate for life" will find a new partner if the original dies or disappears
