Double Spurred Black Hen was crowing this morning. Brown Red cock was upset and was pacing the fence under her. I think she is ready to abandon her two chicks.

Yeah 10 chicks is too many for one young stag. lol I would run off six extra kids too.

Normal if he imprinted only on the older chicks. I can have them imprint on as many as 30 but the imprinting process must be allowed to take place. Older chicks may be preventing the needed interactions by running the little ones off. Chicks stag has not be allowed to imprint on should not be confined with the older male.

Here's my two oldest jumper chicks

5ish weeks or so

Here's the younger two, did not want to stop perching on my fingers lol

And then there's these two. Technically just EEs but they are greenlegkelso/Swedishflower/Am. I've got the kelso/sfhen in with my jumper male now to bring more of the game back into the next set of eggs from her.
