plan on a roo....hahah. say you can't, won't, don't wanna have any roos, then try to figure out how to keep 3 roos outa 6 chickens. Safely, sanely, humanely. Not sure its gonna work. So far so good tho.

Big roo already had a time out cause I was shocked to see how he courted (ha) my little hen. Little feathers pulled out by the quick and all. I was nice enough to him - it IS natural, but he went in a separate run with treats and looked like he felt quite special. I don't plan on keeping him separate all the time, or cutting out his passions completely. Just need time for little hen. and to trim his nails, and regroup myself.
