Good for you, Laura! You'll be recovered in no time, I bet.
Carl (Hilltop on BYC) got Solomon this morning. Nice guy with super nice wife. The youngster will have a good home. Nugget isn't looking for him. Tried putting her in the bantam coop. No way. She did beat up all the little roosters, then Shadow trounced her into the ground and she was sitting in the corner of the coop pouting. SO, we let Suede out and Nugget out and Nugget is now one of Suede's girls. She had some words with each one of his current women, squatted for him numerous times (she knows a good man when she sees one!), and I think she is where she belongs.
I have decided to give Rex to Scott after Christmas and not keep a breeding group of BRs separate at this time. This is the first real step to rearranging things. We need to simplify and cut down on work, feed costs, etc. With Rex gone, his girls can go into Isaac's group (if he'll tolerate more of those barred girls he doesn't care for), Suede will move into Rex's larger side, and Suede's will become a coop for the older hens. It stays warmer and has a "handicapped" roost shelf and huge easy-to-see-out-of window right next to it and adjacent to Zane's cage.
