Our Mixed Flock Journey!

[drstratton]

Hi Debby! I'm glad I got to pop in! Classes will be done for the semester fairly soon then ill have more free time to be on BYC

She's doing really well. Working on smiling more constantly now. It's just the sweetest! She has a 2 month check up this week. I'm curious what she weighs.. guessing about 9 lbs.

Thanks for asking!

2 months already...time goes by so fast! Enjoy her! I bet you will be glad to have a break from school!
My grandson will be One in 4 days...he weighed 10 lbs. 8 oz. when he was born. He's a big boy.

@drstratton many roosters do you have now? I would love to see pictures!

We have 4 now. 2 BO & 2 FBCM. This was taken on 1.31, I will try and get some updated pictures today!

 

[drstratton]

Yes! .... and she’s a screamer!!

Lol...Spazzy isn't a screamer, she just clucks around like a Nervous Nelly, especially when she's broody!

 

[drstratton]

Yea, I’m just nervous about him sneaking up on me... he hasn’t shown any intention but now I know it’s a possibility!

I'm sorry WhoDat! Have you decided if you're going to rehome him?
It would be fun to hatch some eggs to try and get some NN hens from him, of course there's always the possibility of getting more roosters if you do that!

I was thinking it was something like that, I just couldn't remember. I'm sorry, it's very sad to lose them like that.
I will be getting the Legbars & BLRW from someone about an hour away, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to get any. That's probably all I'm getting this year.

How many of each are you getting? I'm curious what your BLRW will look like feathered out! Here is my girl. I really like the darker BLRW!

Wow what a big boy! She was 4 weeks early but if she went full term they were guessing around a 9lb baby. Its amazing how fast they grow!

Maybe wear protective clothing thick pants and boots and a coat and gloves and go in there and either it will help you realize your fear is unfounded or it will confirm that he needs a new home or a bachelor pad or some other solution. I feel so bad for you, being afraid to interact is just no fun at all.

She's beautiful! I'm hoping to get 2 of each! I hope mine will color out like yours.

I'd forgotten she was that early...9lbs is big too, especially for a girl!
It really is amazing. We will be going to Oklahoma next week to visit. We saw them in January when we helped them move. YS sends pictures, videos & we video chat, but I know I will be amazed at how much he's grown since we last saw him.
