After saying this and thinking about it...I really don't want to lay eggs...that was not what I meant at all...

Maybe not, but it was funny!

Good morning Debby! I'm so glad I could provide a good laugh!
This is what happens when I allow my fingers on the keyboard to run ahead of my brain...!

When I went out to the pen today, the two Silkie roosters were very bloody...they tore each other up! I keep saying we are going to cull them...I just need to suck it up and get it done. They are opportunistic breeders...they don't have any hens that want to breed with them, so they wait until the other roosters are breeding, then run in, knock them off & take over. They are way too rough with my girls and I think it is causing a lot of stress in my flock. It's just crazy!

Sorry to hear that Rene. Sounds like things got pretty rough!

That just seems awful. I'm sorry this is going on. ☹

Thanks Debby! I couldn't believe what they had done to each other and I felt bad for both of them!

Thank you Bob! They've drawn blood before, but this was kind of crazy!
