the deed is done. the Foster roosters are now people food.

I let the whole flock out this afternoon, it was about 30* and very sunny. everyone was hesitant, so I scattered some BOSS....... haven't looked at the pics yet, but should have a few good ones. when it was time to go in, I put Royce with the Foster girls, he was a bit confused at first when I pointed him home and it was his "old" door... but he went in and the girls all followed

. he was quite happy, when I left, he was inside the nest box calling softly - and one of the BO's joined him. next week, I'll make more changes, give him the girls I want to collect fertile eggs from.

I still have to make one more round to check, but I have 8 Eggs so far, and expect an egg from EE Opal, as she was sitting when I put everyone up...

Was going to ask if you did the deed, but you answered in a later post. Hope your friend's mom enjoys her fresh chicken.

Royce is a lucky duck, but aren't 35 hens quite a lot for one rooster to cover? He may miss some of the girls unless he is particularly... ehm... err... manly.

W4W, I don't expect him to cover them all... just the ones I choose. for now, he's delighted to be living with the Foster girls. he's good, if a hen/pullet doesn't squat for him, he moves on... although most do squat. I don't really intend to hatch any Foster eggs... I don't get many - didn't get any today... I'll work on setting up a breeding section this weekend, if I don't have a stomach bug (I think I do tho'... I do not feel well) I need to get it done tho' if I want hatching eggs by the second week of Feb...

only 3 Eggs here today. Sillie was so cute but continually photobombed.- glad this shot came out...
