My Chicken Existential Crisis... I mean journey

[ackie]

I mean, mine multiply enough they're probably decent layers. But mine free range 24/7/365 so they just make nests and appear with babies. But clutches are usually close to 20 eggs

oh I understand that. my gamehens like to go broody in the woods and show up with chicks.

I've got some good broody ladies and an incubator so I dont really want a broody breed.

Ah, that's nothinh. Some of my girls have (shorter, like expected) long tails like the males. This one as a pullet almost had hers touch the ground

@JacinLarkwell more in the roommate saga

me: I'm selling 4 roosters today to the guy who bought 20 a few months ago
her: why does he only want 4 this time?
me: that's all the spare roosters I have
her: why not sell him hens?
me: i assume he doesnt want to pay hen prices since he asked for roosters
her: your hens dont lay anyway so I think you should just sell them off and get a production breed
me: I'm aware of what you think
her: well you're lucky what I think doesnt matter
me: I'm not lucky, I've designed it that way

and then, for the 10th time, we had a discussion about how my girls arent laying and she thinks they should have laid at 6-8months so clearly they're just never gunna be layers.

but they are 8-9 months and its WINTER

Your roommate sounds absolutely insufferable.
