Thanks so much for all of your kind info, but I'm so upset! I hatched out 6 gorgeous little chicks and 5 of them have turned out to be roos! What happened to beginner's luck? In answer to you question, no one is laying yet, I have 4 chickens, 2 of which are definitely hens, but no eggs thus far.
What am I going to do with them now??? Anyone know anyone who wants SL Wyandotte roosters? (we live in NW london) I can't bear to dispatch them myself, and I certainly can't keep crowing roosters... Any advice welcome... (with the last lot, I managed to give 1 away and my sister bravely dispatched the other 2, but she says 'never again!')
Thank you!
