Well... I got a new roo from a friend of mine yesterday.. He is a BR roo, never been with the ladies before. I had him in my grow out coop, and put a tarp over it so that he wouldn't get out. I wanted to keep him seperated for a few weeks to make sure he was ok. He was just NPIP inspected. Two weeks ago.
I decided after lunch to look out and check on him... and he was gone.. Couldn't find him. I was going through all the horrable things that could have gone wrong, dog, hawk, but he is WAY to big for a lot of those.. I heard a cluck I wasn't used to hearing. I looked over at my main coop, and there he was.. in with the ladies and my EE roo. No pecking, No Fighting.. Just Chillin with the ladies.
Well soo much for keeping him seperated for 3 weeks.
