South Dakota Thread!

Yeah, darn Roosters! Mine sliced up my favorite hen so I finally cut his spurs and she has a saddle now. He seems to go through phases with favorites.

Are you rehoming or culling Lieutenant?
I've thought about culling mine a few times but I can't do it yet!

I am wanting a nicer Roo also though, it's always a feat getting things done in the backyard.

I could rehome him, he is not mean. He is a fair rooster, and seems to do well with free ranging, and when I free range it is in a pasture with a crick and draws.

Sounds like he has a lovely home.

Lieutenant is a mutt rooster

I used to have a Rooster named Sargent Crow! (Sargent for Short)

 

[Mrs. K]

Well, he too was Sargent, but when he realized he was missing two girls our free ranging and went and rounded them up, he got promoted.

I definitely don't live in South Dakota, but I decided to make this thread for SD dwellers!

How hard is it to care for chickens in winter? It sounds like it would be very difficult! That is for a Californian ! My dads from South Dakota and he grew up on a farm with chickens so he's told me about it a bit.

I live in SD and my chickens do excellent in the winter except for frostbitten combs
