Thanks Kay,
This is one of the ones that I worked so hard to save (back a few months ago) and I don't think I can let him go. Same old story - he's the one who comes to sit with me, pecks my fingers if I pet someone else, etc... You never know what's gonna happen though. And I had no intention of even thinking about raising chicks for at least a year. Guess the best idea will be to just enjoy the flock as they are and see where we are in a year.
I know what you're saying about the eggs. I was hoping - in that 'somewhere far in the future' kind of way - to get a Polish roo one day to maybe add poofy topknots without changing egg color much. I kept thinking how cute an EE with a topknow and a beard would be.

But know knows.

I know what the rooster problem is. The last batch of chicks I got 5 out of 6 are roosters. So out of 22 chickens I have 5 roosters. 2 d'uccls, 2 polish, 1 silkie.
