Hi I am new to chickens but I currently have 11. I use to have 12 but my dad gave away one of the roosters for being a bit mean. I got them this year. I have 5 of the Smokey pearls that were sold at tractor supply, and 6 mysterious chicks that were sold to me as Rhode island egg layers but they are clearly not egg layers or Rhode island reds. My favorite thing about the chickens are the fact my 5 Smokeys are so fun to watch. They will ran at me when they see me for me to feed them and sometimes they let me hold them. My other hobbies are that I do play video games and I read. I started also doing some sewing also. I live with my dad and mom and my brother. We have 1 dog who is just jealous of the chickens all the time. I also have an aquarium with guppies and two dwarf frogs. I am currently not working but im looking to work with animals as a career. I found BYC from just looking up stuff about my chickens and what I could do and should be doing. I'm excited to join the community and get to the bottom of my mysterious broiler chickens!

Nothing! They just sit around and I'm just sad I got something I didn't think I was buying. I love them to death and I hate the idea of having to cull them. I need to figure out what to do with them unless they can end up being egg layers.

Its so sad! We had two roosters but I had to go out of state for something with my mom and I learned when I got home that the two roosters decided to have a war when I was gone and my dad had to get rid of one.

Just replied to your other post. They are Cornish X meatbirds - destined to a relatively short lifespan.
