I just tried taking pictures. This is terrible. I feel like a chicken torturer. They will not let me take a picture of their head. OK this is what I’m going to do.

MYLIED: you get $20. One of These guys going to a new home on Saturday. I will choose the one that I am pretty sure it’s is a roo. It will probably be number one. The other five are with me for a while. Whatever the final tally is, if it’s different from the original, I’ll pay another 20 bucks. How is that?

1 & 3 look like boys, 2 & 4 I'm iffy on and it's possible they're more developed girls, or slower growing boys.

 

[Orpingtons Mom]

Ok .... this good. Yes. It’s a hurry up and wait.

[Orpingtons Mom]

Thank you. That’s very important and I really appreciate it.

Update: first Roo went to a new home where NO, HE ISN'T GOING TO BE EATEN. He was a lovely boy on his ride over...and is a lovely boy in his new home. So. We are down to 5.At the moment I could have 4 hens and 1 rooster... or any mix thereof.

Lord have mercy on me, who knew life was ever going to be this difficult.

Sorry to hear you (may) have so many boys...I popped in to read about your setup (we've been waiting almost ten years, too!) and now would love to know which heating pad model you ended up with! Those are adorable babies, btw. Boys or no.

Followed the chicken trail to your post... the art of wit and penning I see is with you as well.
