Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

I am glad you get to sleep in. It's always so weird when you get rid of roosters. One or more. It makes a difference!
I moved the 10-week-olds into the breeding pen. I now have six SPR cockerels and four pullets. The older two are 21 + weeks. She will probably start laying this week.
I will have to go through them, and figure out which boys are staying. I will keep two. One will have to be banded, and stay with the main flock when he gets old enough to be a nuisance. The others will be returned to free ranging until freezer camp.

Starting to look like a little girl... not a baby any more. Is she checking her cell phone???

I think we need to see some more pictures of those beautiful rocks of yours, too.

Tonight while I was reading her a story, she counted to 10 without any help at all. Her reward was another story. Bert had a pacifier in his mouth. I happened to know there was one in the box next to me. Not that she ever used it. I explained to her that it was not a toy as she thought. And the purpose of it. She put it in her mouth, and looked at me with her big sleepy blue eyes, and hair wet from a bath. She was so precious.

I will have to take new pictures of the rocks tomorrow... Today.

Ugh! Charge her. Somehow. Someway.

I kept thinking about taking pictures yesterday. It was too cloudy whenever I was out there.
So, here (finally) are the Rocks.

And, Duckling. I have never seen the dog roll over for her before.

Sturgis was getting scritches!

The rocks look great. Turkey and Pekin too, although that duck sure wanted to get in with the chickens.
Partridge rocks are one of the few breeds where I think the females are prettier than the males.
