Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

But now i cant get more baby chicks because of space

Why would you want more chicks? You have all layers ready to lay. You could sell a pullet or two to make room for chicks. You have very lovely pullets.

I have 2 coops ( One for 6 hens and one for 1 rooster) That's why i cant get More chicks

Don't you want the roo with the hens?

i will have the rooster with the hens during the day... not enough room for rooster in coop at night

Could you get a rooster? Sometimes they can be free on Caigslist. I gave my two Lav Am cockerels away.

I am pretty sure my RIR is a rooster

Hey everyone! It was strange not to hear dueling crows today, but the flock was much more peaceful today. I was watching Harriet's babies today, and I'm pretty sure that 3 are roosters, 1 unsure, and maybe 1 pullet.

Yea, but my hatch rates have been awful this year! And the chicks that I have had hatch, have been lost to predators or the dog..... The first bunch went to my aunts house and they are all doing good. I did get the silkie back this past weekend. The second batch only 6 out of 45 hatched, and they were all killed. Then Harriet hatched 5 out of 10, and they are doing great! So, I'm hoping that this hatch does much better..... I've had another friend message me wanting a few more chicks/pullets, so I should be able to sell any extras I don't need.
