Silence Is Not Golden Here

[Conan]

I tried starting a thread like that a while ago. It didn't take off though. My buckeye roo's favourite gal is a silkie. She snuck some eggs under my broody OEGBs. I've got 4 buckeye silkie crosses that are 5 weeks old now. They're so cute!

pics?

O

Olive Gardens are very rare in Canada these days... shame. I could eat the salad and breadsticks alone and be very happy there. And the tiramisu of course.

It is our number 1 stop when my mom and I go to the big town. We have to drive 30-45 mins away for big stores.

We just have a Wal-Mart and Lowe's in our town

So looks like I have two cockerel that are a month old

And I have 17 ladies
To many cockerels for that amount?

If so how do you know what one to keep and what one to try to rehome?

With enough space I think 17:2 will be okay.
I had 5:20 and only kept the most docile rooster. The rest were dinner.

So try to keep both if one becomes mean or hurts the ladies it will be off with his head.
Think it is worth trying?

I thinking the rooster will call down my mean at times top of the pecking order leghorn or I am hoping
