Sold them or they're vacationing?Sent the last 17 leghorn chicks (10 days old) and my Cuckoo breeding group (1 Rooster 3 hens ) on a 2 hour flight out to the Chatham Islands. View attachment 3768766
You read my mind. One of us had to say it.Sold them or they're vacationing?
look, I haven't seen my rooster even try to breed in a while, but the only other roo is a humongous Cornish Cross, and he probably only ever mated the hen who goes under the fence to see him, (he is fenced in for attacking humans) so the chick in the egg that I'm incubating is almost certainly his. they can be sneaky!All 3 BC hens are laying, but I have one thing bothering me. Now I can’t sit and watch chickens all day like some people, but I have yet to see those BCs doing the chicken nasty. I’m a little concerned about that bunch. I may be setting a bunch of infertile eggs. That little guy is only concerned with running at me and hitting the fence. My big RIR boy sees me and he goes and finds a hen as if to show me that he’s doing his job. That’s a rooster that wants to keep his job!
Yesterday, I noticed some missing feathers on the back of one of the hen’s neck. A good sign that he is indeed doing work. I’m just not witnessing it.look, I haven't seen my rooster even try to breed in a while, but the only other roo is a humongous Cornish Cross, and he probably only ever mated the hen who goes under the fence to see him, (he is fenced in for attacking humans) so the chick in the egg that I'm incubating is almost certainly his. they can be sneaky!
I didn’t know Cornish Cross ever attacked humans. I never thought about it, the docile ones we see are just babies.look, I haven't seen my rooster even try to breed in a while, but the only other roo is a humongous Cornish Cross, and he probably only ever mated the hen who goes under the fence to see him, (he is fenced in for attacking humans) so the chick in the egg that I'm incubating is almost certainly his. they can be sneaky!
yeah, I was minding my own business and the bird snuck up on me and bit me in the butt for no reason. then he started attacking other people, and he ran at my little sister. we would just eat him, as at this point he is a 20 something pound meat rooster, but he's literally not worth the effort it would take to skin him.I didn’t know Cornish Cross ever attacked humans.
