I meant to say āeffectā not āaffectāā¦Ok, someone else new to chickens too!Yes I bet itās exciting to get the first eggs!!
What chickens gave you those? Iām hoping to get some from our Bantam Rocks soon, donāt know how the winter affects them. The BOās take forever to matureā¦
We have a dozen or more roosters free ranging all of the time. We walk through them and they pay us no mind. We have one main original boy that is most protective of the girls and us. His biggest problem is being underfoot all the time.They are handsome I know!We were considering keeping them but I still kind of think itās easier for now to only have hens. Iām also worried if it would turn out to be a mean rooster with the kidsā¦
If you handle them a lot, like, a little every day, couple times a day from the time they are chicks, they can be trained to be more docile. I had two leghorn roos that loved to be cuddled/held, but had to give them away. Almost made me cry, but I just couldn't think about it.They are handsome I know!
"Affect" is actually correctly used there.I meant to say āeffectā not āaffectāā¦
You were right the first time.I meant to say āeffectā not āaffectāā¦
Oh wow well thatās good to hear about the Leghorns!!
Yes Iāve also understood they are so good layers but so bad personalitiesā¦ Iāve wanted to try some ācause of the laying abilities but been suspicious otherwise. Iāve also heard they can be sweet at first and later turn skittishā¦ But it paid off for you to handle them a lot and also maybe got a good strain!
Oh really..lol Well good!!"Affect" is actually correctly used there.
English is not my first language so Iām not always sure ācause of that tooā¦
Wow, you do well considering it's not your first language. Don't worry about it though as we don't have any grammar police around here to my knowledge.Oh really..lol Well good!!
I still try to handle them as often as I can. I always feed them their mealworms and BSFL by hand before sprinkling around for them to peck. I've got them trained to where they like to sit on my hand as I walk around with them, like real birds.Oh wow well thatās good to hear about the Leghorns!!
They are among the best layers and fastest to do so from hatching. I didn't think it was really possible at 4 months as I've seen in my research, but now I can confirm that that is absolutely true. They really are amazing girls!
Wow, you do well considering it's not your first language. Don't worry about it though as we don't have any grammar police around here to my knowledge.
And thanks!
