Welcome! Haha, 20 roosters, that must have been lively.
Your Cornish chicks are lovely!

Oh it was hilarious - my mom would say, "well, that one is a chicken at least." And within the week it would start crowing, until they were all crowing! Once they started fighting we started making soup - I was like 10, and I cried but I learned about raising food shrug. I paid extra for hens so I could have pets though LOL

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
That's a big brooder!!

Thank you! It's actually a weird little room that used to be a porch, but became part of the house somehow (prev owners). Since it's enclosed I just decided the chicks could have it until the coop is done (soon, soon...). They love it

Welcome to BYC. You have picked an interesting breed. Are they from show stock, and do you plan on showing ?

Howdy, sourland,
They are from Ideal, already I can see that they are a bit leggy. I've just always liked the look of the breed and what I've read also attracted me to them. They are all of the things I want in my chickens, and I think they will get on well with the Albuquerque weather.

I wouldn't know how to go about showing them if I did get a pretty one (you know what i mean haha)! But I have thought about it before. I'm planning to move out to some land I bought and when I do, I will definitely get more chickens (can only have 15 here) - then I will have more opportunity for raising specialized chickens.
