Mine has been trying to subdue me (not attack - could be my boots are close enough to the color of the hens ), he's going hormonal with all the hens running around teasing him. So I picked him up and talked to him very seriously.
I did the math on egg production today. Even counting 2 yr old hens slacking off, I'll have 5 extra dozen eggs this summer after the ones that are spoken for. S'what I get trying to keep egg production up in the winter (without lights) to sell to my sisters. My husband wants more ducks 'cause he says they're the best for his pasta. With 4 ducks last summer, we easily had a dozen a week and don't need nearly that many. I think I'm going to put a sign up by the road this summer - lucky we live on a main road. Now I just need to design a sign. And mow the field. And find parking. And paint the coop. And build the extension for the ducks. And modify more horse fence panels to keep in ducks. I have chicks coming soon!! I wanted Marans for the dark dark eggs! Have Cream Legbars coming this summer! It's so exciting! I'm thinking "Rainbow Eggs from Happy Hens". Whaddaya think? Maybe paint a rainbow colored hen on the side of the coop, or hens with a rainbow overhead. My luck it'll look like a kindergartner picture.
