Pippin's flock- stories, pictures and updates 🐣

[PippinTheChicken]

Yay! Are you going to make him a goodbye treat?

Didn't think about that. But it's raining a bunch so I don't want to go outside. I'll give him some lettuce and mealworms when the rain stops

Plan of action:

1. Fully integrate Thor so she's completely settled into the flock
2. I would have rehomed all 4 roosters during this.
3. Buy 2 d'uccle hens
4. Fully integrate them and make sure they're settled and comfortable (a few months)
5. Buy 2 more hens [still deciding on breed]
6. Fully integrate them

After this, I'll settle down and enjoy the flock that I have. I'll only buy more hens if I have less than 8 hens.
