She is saying you are now legit!! How does that feel?

Strange, I'm sure

I think I'd have to disagree with that. If I'm not mistaken Ur had 100% with a store-bought last time around, SC did the same last fall if I recall correctly. As long as mine continues to work as well as it does, with no more hatching than I do, I'll stick with it; I have capacity for 42 eggs at a time, which I'll never need.

I kind of agree, I think the people that know what they are doing and the shape of the eggs have more to do with it.. but I always agree with you.

Depends on who you ask.

Well thats good cause I'm pretty sure I asked you.

I am setting this article to open edit as an experiment

Thank you Bubbles! (I'll always think of you as Bubbles - sorry!) I updated my entry.

I found some pretty nice pallets 40x48 inches, for 2 dollars each. I really need to build a coop for my extra Roos, does anyone keep their Roos together? And can they be able to see and hear the hens? Or will seeing the hens make them fight? I'm not really wanting to cull young chicks, rather raise them for meat, but my main flock is free range, and I want to keep the Roos in a run. Hens can go be hens and produce tasty eggs for me

I wanted to do that, only worked for a little while, then they were beating on each other way too badly, a little too much blood on combs on a regular basis, and I got increasingly alarmed and had to separate them. I don't think I'm going to be able to do that here, at least with my primary flock roosters, as well as Tank and Apoc, the bachelors - they are ALL the jealous type.

In the end, I think I'm going to give each "keeper" roo (will try to keep numbers down) a little family to be with. Horrible for chicken math, but working so far for both calm and hen protection... Maybe I'll eventually try what Ur/Joey is doing and let them all range together, while hoping they maintain their family groups. But that won't work right now (maybe in the future).

But other folks do it differently. It may also depend on how much land there is and how it is used...
