KDOGG331’s Hatch Thread!!!

[ShrekDawg]

I am so sorry... maybe I shouldn't have skipped to the end but who was johnny?

Thank you! And it’s okay! @Kiki named one of my chicks Johnny 5. He was the first one to hatch and was a Barred Rock. One of my favorites and one I was strongly thinking of keeping.

He liked cuddles/pets once you caught him but wasn’t overtly friendly or disrespectful or anything and still ran from me. He was perfect!

I'm not naming anymore.

It seems it’s always the named ones or the favorites that go first!!

Oh wow that is definitely very strange!!! Maybe he was just a late bloomer?? Or a very dominant hen

I am about 99% sure he was a rooster... I never did get an egg. grummble grumble
but its ok I learned not to declare gender till I was sure... and even then take it with a grain of salt. crazy birds keep us on our toes!
