Well, it looks like Topi is headed for the freezer too. Apparently I'm the only person he isn't aggressive towards. He attacked Karin this morning again, so it will be processing time tomorrow morning again. Might be just as good, some of the pullets have started acting nervous around him. I don't think he is overmating them, but perhaps they feel differently. I was sort of hoping to hatch some of his chicks in spring, since he should carry OE genes, but perhaps we'll have to leave that thought. That will just leave us with the Sussex roo then, I can still cross him with our OE pullet, but looking at how bland our Sussexes seem to be, I don't know how interesting that will be. The OE roo over Alho hens would of been more interesting.
Of course, due to space constraints, all of these breeding plans would have required some of our hens not to survive the winter, so this added space from getting rid of another tenant will come in handy when the weather gets worse and the chickens will have to spend more time in the coop and run. Anyone here have any experience with how chickens like playing in snow?
