Hey folks.
Broome County NY, raising our small flock, 15 mixed hens and 5 roosters. Not sure of all the mixes but would guess Reds and comets originally.
Got some eggs from a friend that turned out to be a single Polish hen, a single banty rooster and a turken, ( Transylvanian Naked Necks) rooster and hen.
Looking to keep everybody healthy as most of our eggs are given away. Too many for just us.
Lots of ideas that I'm guessing have been answered or experimented with re: best practice manure/ garden ideas, meat bird planning and when is "enough, enough".
As "transplants" from NYC we're thankful for all the work that everyone else has already done.
Looking forward to spring and letting the girls fend for themselves.
