Hello Ken, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
What are you going to do with all the cockerels from that hatch?

Honestly unsure. Haven't researched the options available as I'm unsure how many I have. Been suggested to raise for sustenance or place them on the local Marketplace. Not a fan of the second; too many weird minds out there. Open to suggestions from yall though!!

I've rehomed every extra cockerel out of my flock and all have gone on to be flock leaders. I advertised them on FB Poultry groups and my local CL.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!

I was gifted 18 eggs as a house warming gift from my girlfriends brother in law Oct 30, 2022.
Of the 18, 17 hatched on 20 NOV 2022!
Not for sure, but I believe I have 3-4 different types of chicks: Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Marans? (Will attach pics)
I've had an interest in caring for livestock for many years. Finally have the opportunity to learn how to raise chickens and establish some responsibilities for my nearing retirement lol (4 years out)
I enjoy the outdoors recreationaly and through wildlife management.
I live with my best friend, have several kids in and out for visits, and a 1 year old German Shepherd keeping us entertained!
