Ordered some Reds from Italy. It was to be 50 roos got one hen. Now the problem is to keep the 49 from my one hen. She is house separate, aloud one roo in her pen during the day.Oh yes her favorite , she doesn't want any other. Guess the question is , do chickens mate for life? Everytime another roo gets in her pen, she climbs up ontop of the coup to get away from him. Is the normal? does she know the difference. Seems she does to me.
Have a good winter people. Fall is setting in on this side of the world and fall is at our door . The rainy season is here and we have had 6 inches in just 3 days. Weather is acting strange, but the roos are being their own crazy selves. Well at least the wood pile is getting washed. Seems it is there favorite spot after a long day of running loose and chasing bugs.How fat should you let these guys get? Well happy winter, chicken lovers.
