They are super cute! I could've walked out of there with some but I have to hatch my own out and get the birds to start paying down their winter debt and now the $500+ in housing and incubator upgrades, lol.

it sure does, mine stays out of the kitchen when I use one of those, and I have never REALLY threatened him with one.

Nice! Do you have a weight on it? I have yet to grow any meaties out beyond a week or so. Just wasn't worth the mess inside when we still have plenty of chicken in the freezer, lol. But, by the end of the week, hopefully I'll have a bunch of ee and cornish eggs set. I'm going to set everything from the past week, since the move will probably make them quit.

It kind of makes me want to try freedom x cornish x. I've got bresse coming and will be using one of those roos for the cornish cross hens. For now it looks like they're all covered by leghorns. A silkie cross would be cool too. I have all spring to hatch leghorn/cornish x chicks, so I'll grow a few out once we get settled to see how they do.

Hmm. This isn't really what I needed to hear.

They need a chicken hotline to give folks clues on what to do step by step in easy to understand fashion to care for birds..

Well folks, my coop-n-pen arrived via UPS today...funny, I had the urge to adopt a young polish roo listed in the re-home section...was thinking how long would the coop take to build....then I thought the poor adolescent would spend a couple of months in isolation til the girls were ready to go outside....and I had no logical reason to want a polish roo(he was a handsome bird)....I guess that's chicken math.

I was informed by a Chester County farm boy that a Roo may not be as noisy with 4-8 hens as he would if there were 15-20 hens or with another roo in competition...I have no idea and thought I'd just throw it out there.....
