Please no

My phone is one of those, so don't worry

Okay. I just dragged my butt out of bed, so it may be an hour or so at least

Incase yall didn't realize, it's cleaning day for the pens.

Splash Marans pair. Samwell and Peaches. I've toyed with purchasing another pullet next year if they have one avaliable, just not sure its worth the cost of the bird plus shipping. A batch of chicks would be cheaper, but I don't feel like culling a ton of birds later just for one or two more girls

Then there is Falcon in the middle picture too. She seems to like hanging out with Peaches

Gotta start picking out who's staying in the silkie pen. I have one with a slight beak deformation, so he's going. I'll try to keep the little partridge chick to keep that color. The hens and David are all staying. Hope to keep 2 males from the current batch. Rest will be processed most likely.

The Buff and white hens that aren't in a single shot are staying too.

Chuckles and his sister's parents and aunt. His mother is the one with the Legband.

So Westeros lost one of his spurs when he was fighting with Samwell and Goose (who is about to go in the fryer with Puma. I'm almost done with those two and their hormones right now).a few days ago. Felt pretty bad for him because it was obvious it was sore.

Look what I found tonight.

I have to agree..I have several breeds but I'm fond of leghorns and those girls do have fertility issues..hubby had to put my one leghorn down, she was 2 and a half and had a busted egg inside here...I did all I could. Then I had a another leghorn same age die. I know again it was probably fertility thing. And I give oyster shell and make sure they're fed right. I'd love to have some heritage leghorns of the non economy kind in different colors then white. And some heritage rhode islands ,there color looks so much richer then economy rhode island. I'd love to get into several new breeds.lol. You have such a fun flock.

You would need to source your birds from breeders. Cause they are more attentive to there birds.
