Hello. We recently bought an old 100+acre farm that hasn't been used for farming in many, many years. We are in the process of fixing up the house and the barn. We are hoping to get more chickens in the coming Spring. We presently have 1 rooster and two hens. Looking to add 20 layers and 20 broiler chickens to the flock along with some Guinea hens, ducks, and possibly a couple of turkeys.
Besides the birds, we also have a 6 1/2 month old German Shepherd Dog (puppy) and a 3.5 year old pet bunny named Peter.
We plan to add a couple of meat goats and some pigs in the Spring also. We have a lot of work to do and we both work full time off the homestead.
Best wishes and thank you for your support!

and Welcome To BYC! Ya, there are a lot of surprise roosters! Even if you get them from the big commercial hatcheries, they only guarantee 90% the correct gender (though they usually do better than that), sex links are really the only chicks where you can be pretty much guaranteed to have all the correct gender.
