Hi from Mississippi

[Gibney5]

Hey there! I'm a new member and already love this forum! I have 10 Orphington hens, 4 juvie Rhode Island Red hens, 4 juvie Black Australorps hens, 2 juvie Black Jersey Giant hens, and one very sad little Silkie roo. Plus 2 juvie Muscovy. I love my little mixed flock and am excited to be learning more about ways to help them thrive!

Is the silky sad because he's just a little dude outsized by all those bigger ladies? lol. Sounds like a great flock! Welcome to the site

No I think he likes being ruler of the roost! But I'm not getting any fertile eggs from him so I am currently housing a borrowed RR roo to try to satisfy one of my very broody hens! He's sad looking because he's lost his top knot and is just looking pitiful!

Sounds like a great flock! I can't wait to get little chicks... And, Mississippi? I grew up in Mississippi. It's been 7/8 years since I lived there...
