thats pretty.
Wish I could say something to make culling easier for you.

That's okay Granny. I honor their life. I can't do it mechanical like some people can. Life is precious, and should be honored IMHO

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I agree w/ that

I have 18 hens, and already collected 12 eggs today.

I think it the because the style of my incubator. Open the door heat and humidity falls out.

Warm air flows out quickly and cools the incubator down, but if you have water bottles inside, heated to the same tamp, they will hold their heat better and help keep it warmer after you close back up.
It's the same idea as keeping a frozen gallon of water in your fridge when the power goes out. Keeps it cooler longer.

Add humidity back in quickly with a hot, steaming wet sock.

I was about ready to cull 7 or 8 roosters tonight while feeding. Little rat ********! They are thinking spring is here and giving me a preview. The bachelors are being ridiculous, meanwhile in the main coop, four of the young OEGB cockerels from last summer's hatch are just acting like tards. If I hold my hand out to pet one of them they try to mount my hand. All the while one of the little BBR pullets is standing next to my hand squatting for them but they are ignoring her because my hand looks like a hen to them. Can you say HELLLLOOOOOO! One of the SDW pullets has half the feathers pulled off her neck from the over amorous foursomes attentions. At least they recognize her as a female chicken over my hand.....

I'm sure that when the cold weather returns tomorrow late they will settle down again but in the meantime I'm going to have to make some plans for spring and get my spare coop cleaned out the rest of the way so I can shuffle the bachelors there and get the bantams into a room all their own for awhile..

Meanwhile I was wondering where my tomahawk is.....

Got another pullet egg today. That makes 5 eggs in 6 days. She's a good girl!

I know that feeling. LOL. But my apartment doesn't have a lot of room, so I have to keep my flock rather small. Besides when the bachelors think if they crow loud enough, a female will find them, not good to wake up the whole place. LOL. Only have three to go, but food will be here any minute, and I must eat.

my teen babies have started to lay as well. Always great when newbies start laying.
