yes, they were crowing. the smaller one went to a 60 acre farm. The larger to my pot. The other EE roosters started pecking him really really bad when he started crowing. He made a nice pulled BBQ chicken lunch for me and the children. nothing was left over though. I'm thinking the one you took is a rooster too as the others that look like him are showingrooster tail feathers. You'll have to come pick out a hen.
Thanks. These were sent form TN. I'm letting them rest for now. I gave some EE and mutt eggs to my BLRW broody. My first broody summatra already had mutt EE eggs. That leaves me with 2 semi broody sumatra hens that will be wanting eggs soon. If I had not moved the sumatra hens last night I would have 2 sumatra hens sitting on wooden eggs. It is amazing how the egg production goes down when the majority of the hens start going broody.
I have 1! ONE!!! ONE!!!, hen laying right now!!! It's awful and she's a silkie. She's been eyeballing the new babies. I told her to not get any crazy ideas!
I had 4 go broody, 1 broke but has never laid since. ;_;
My other pullets won't start until around August I think.
The 3 broodies are the best thing ever. No more dusty house.
