Help with big mama

[CrystalAnon]

Thank you for the feedback! I only have 8 hens & 1 rooster. My goals are to have fresh eggs regularly, keep them healthy & happy, as well as get some chicks to refresh the flock, when that becomes necessary. (My entire flock turned 1yr old in February) Polko is not great at mating, I do admit, but he’s a good boy so I really do want to keep him. He has the most melodic crow I’ve ever heard, he keeps the gals safe & he even tests me on occasion, so I know he’ll stand up to a large predator if he’s ever presented with one. Plus he grew up with the ladies, so they’re very comfortable with him. He’s a Moss Egger, (I bought 3 Moss Eggers from Alchemist Farms, straight run, and all of them ended up being males- got rid of two) so I’m pretty excited to see what his chicks would produce, egg-color-wise, as well as chicken color with the various mixes that could occur. The ladies are French Black Copper Marans (2), Alchemist Blues (2) and Azure Eggers (4). The Alchemist Blues & Azure Eggers were all bought as day old females, and the FBCMs were bought as day old straight run but both ended up being female.

You can see Polko in my profile pic.
