So...now I own a chicken...

Date sort Score sort
I haven't noticed any over breeding. I think he mates with her once every morning but after that they just kinda hang out and enjoy each others company. She has been laying more eggs for me too. ^.^ Both seem pretty happy from what I can tell.

She is a Golden Sex link. I think my Roo is some kind of Marans Mix.

After all this back and forth I think I have finally found a scheduled that works for everyone. Looks like we are going to be able to keep Mr. Presley after all.

I'm glad everything worked out wonderfully without any fuss!!! Keep us updated on your pair and you chicken maths though!
 
In the end of it all Mr. Presely was re-homed. He went to a friend of mine a little further out in the country and now he has a little flock of hens to looks after. ^.^

Since we still had the chicken bug we kept the Hen, bought a Bantam pair(Albert and Elsa) that I am really enjoying, and with the 10 I got from mister Presely I got a little Cornish mix breed pullet I named Kiwi. Lord willing she will be a broody hen. ^.^

My chicken math says my flock will be complete with a blue bantam hen for my little blue rooster. ^.^

FYI Bantam crowing is a world away from standard roo crowing. I almost enjoy Albert's crowing.^.^ And Elsa gave me a little egg today, her first egg ever. It almost looked to big to have come out of that little chicken.

...Anyway, in the incubator with it! ...well...as soon as I get a few more.

BUT not to keep. Apparently Polish Bantams are hard to come by so I hope to sell the chicks this spring. (Lord Willing)

Wow a lot has been going on! Congrats on your new chickens! Just don't got overwhelmed, even the best of us can reach a breaking point.... Best of luck!!
 
You right, It's been a test to balance everything but I think I finally have a system that works. ^.^

This morning everyone is cared for and I get a second to sit down on the computer before my day starts.
