View attachment 1263820 View attachment 1263821 View attachment 1263822The larger birds are myJanuary 2nd hatch. Buff boy was going his job. 2females and 9 males....we will be enjoying cockerel soup in a few months. The smaller birds are my 2/11/18 hatch. 25 of 27 hatched and 35 were set. Only 1 buff Orpington, 2 toads, 1 yokahama, a few buckeyes, and a crap ton of Rhode Island reds.

Looking good! I wonder if there is just some really pink pullets in the group?

Ralphie this guy is already settled in and will be going to work once my Dom starts laying. Which should be soon as she is squatting... I put a rollaway nest box in the Buckeye pen last night and hopefully it works...

I finally stopped complaining about it and just started keeping all the loose change I find in his pockets. . along with a few bills once in a while. .I call it my laundry money. Last time I rolled it up I had almost 100 dollars!
He started emptying his pockets for a while after that But it didn't last.

My grandma used to call that the "washer woman's pay". I do the same thing.

I brought back this Dominique and a Toad Cockerel. MCM also brought some eggs that are “baking” as we speak.

The front row is RIR and Buckeye eggs and the back row is Orpington egg along with a Silkie and mutt egg.
