I have to make a final choice between these two cocks. Any opinions? Neither are that good considering they came from GFF, but they are all I have this year.

Here is Penny enjoying her freedom after I sold the four week old chicks last night.

Rory, although his name's harder to say.

Thanks. I needed a r and l name due to their combs and had watched a Dr. Who.

Congratulations!! ,

How many pullets/hens do you have of the same breed?

If it were me, I'd use one rooster for a week or so and set some of those eggs, then separate them and swap roosters to get chicks from him. If you know you can keep them safe, hatch from the lesser rooster first, then cull him leaving the best rooster with the flock. It is a work in progress with small gene pools.

I think Pistol will

Or Pistol Pete. PP for short. If we're still talking about naming the kid.

I only have two hens and will only breed a few replacements. Mainly, I want to make blue egg layers with my Leghorns, and green egg layers with others. My two concentrations will be my HRIR and EE. I have a nice EE cock and an Ameraucana.

I really like Levin. Better tail angle, color, ear lobe and breast. However as in my case CC is correct small gene pool. I'll be using both roosters.

Here's the next nest setting up for broody. Hoping for few more eggs tonight then in she goes. I'll be putting her into cage that the last broody just came out out of. The six chicks were moved into another. One chick rooster has good structure already. Be curious to see how he plays out.

Actually I have an extra blue and black BBS Ameraucana if anyone needs one.

Sally and friends, I shared this at granny's house but wanted to announce it here, also.

Now that bubba has started school, I'm making the move into full-time farming. I've named myself "Sowing & Crowing." I'm focusing on crafts, food, and the svart honas and HRIR for now. I'm trying to garden, but I'm just really super bad at it. :/

Anyway, if y'all have Facebook or Instagram you can follow my journey there! I'll post a few of my recent endeavors, too.

I have business cards!

Name bands so I can tell my HRIR hens apart.

Rosie and a few of her 7 littles.

A few of my young honas, just at breeding age.

Mae West and chicken Mae West.
