Hi there! I had a horse and a pony. My horse passed away and I thought that a handful of chickens would be great to keep the pony company. Well, pony could care less about the chickens and I am consumed by them! I built my coop from big pallets that I brought home from work and tore down. I bought a dozen eggs from the side of the road and incubated them. Unfortunately, I ended up with four roosters and two hens. I thought that maybe I wanted to get a dozen eggs from a different home and incubate three of them to hopefully replace the roosters that I had. Nope, ended up with two roosters and one hen.
I have since found all six roosters nice homes and I just picked up a four or five week old Sapphire gem to add to my barnyard mix hens. I love learning about these strange little creatures and they have brought me so much joy and stress equally, lol
Glad you joined.
Unfortunate that you ended up with so many roosters. Good luck with your flock!
