I replied to a few posts already and i got some wonderful replies. thanks for welcoming me in such a nice way. Anyways, i am a 40+ year old bachelor with a roommate who is helping me raise and care for my new flock. I also have a 15 year old cat and he has been with me since he was about 3 months old. i hope the birds can adjust to him and maybe befreind him... he wouldnever chase them. Anyways, i got my birds from my neighbor as payment for some work> 3 hens and a rooster. i'm not sure what their history is but i am trying to find out. they are all dark, with the Roo resembling a dark cochin with lots of blue and a bit of green. his feet are messed up and his claws were outrageously long when i first got him. he is walking a lot better now, but he doesn't hold a finger barely at all... very unstable off the ground, poor guy. very sweet tho but timid. The girls, i have no idea other then brown, dark and pretty docile. not a one has showed any agression. they all seem pretty used to each other and seem to get along great. Iwill try to post pics in a few minutes and any idea helping to id them would be great. Also, im pretty sure im getting some turkeys in a few hours so ihope im not jumping the gun. i know i should be more patient but i also want to get some before too much time goes by as thanksgiving will be here very soon... Lastly, they havent laid a single egg as of yet. i imagine they need time to adapt to the new coop, nest boxes, run and routine first. which is another reason i want to get the rest of the flock all together and started so they can sot themselves out and get back to laying. i will also think about 2 more hens while im at the farm. we'll see how good the prices are i guess. i will post pics of the coop and flock soon. Anyways, thats what i have for now. Thanks and have a great day...
