Hi I'm also a Newbie and waiting on posting pictures good luck. I live in ct and have 2 horses, 1dog ,2cats, 2goats,some fish a parrot and 12 hens and 3 roosters who need a really good home the roosters that is. Not sure about eating eggs that are fertilized has any done this can you tell the difference? I've only ever had hens and now ended up with 3 roosters thought they were getting along really well but today the polish rooster has pulled tail feathers put blucoat on him will move to the barn with the horses tomorrow and see how that works out. He really does need a good home if anyone is interested. Anyway hi to everyone
