One of my girls passed today also. Now I only have two naked neck hens and feel very bad about it.

I'm sorry to hear that. This has been a rough season for chicken keeping.

Thanks.

Problem is that we don't have broodies, they just cluck. At this time of the year they would usually be crazy about sitting on eggs but not a single one sat.

Hope at least one will, I want a turken roo so bad.

Good thing is I have been getting around 5-8 eggs a day, mostly seven, from nine hens.

I wish you lived closer. I've got some beautiful NN roosters I can't bring myself to cull because they've got such good personalities, outstanding genetics for egg laying, and just look really good. I've overwhelmed by cockerels and roosters.

I know the feeling. 5 roos and 2 cockerels, no room. I put a wire to separate flocks so that I can keep them. neighbors don't complain so far but they are too noisy.

I don't know is it worse if I don't have any or if I have too much.
