Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

No idea on sex, but they sure are in the little pterodactyl stage, aren't they? LOL I so love seeing the changes they go through. Except, once they grow out if the fuzzy stage, then I'm wanting more! NO MORE!!!

Yes between the ages and the angle of my camera they definitely look like little dinosaurs.

Let the spring madness begin, my Welsummer Roo is rough on the love game as well some of the girls look like they are wearing helmets, with 18 adult girls and the new dozen he has 30 girlfriends he is active already about 6 or 7 of the new girls do the submissive squat when I go in the coop I know he has been herasing them now as well.

Quote: That is why I am getting eggs over peeps... I want the girls to have a few months no cockerel
not hearing a roo 8 times a day odds are out of 12 I will get a new cockerel also

8 times a day seriously I think my Roo crows 80 times a day and he is a bad boy. If it wasn't for the cool crosses I have planed for him I would take him out he is one mean machine you can never lower your guard around him.

And that's why I will be a hen only flock. No crowing, no meanies. No P O'ed neighbors...........

I have no neighbors close enough to bother with the roosters. They are more likely to get on my nerves, at which point I eat them. Only silkie boys here right now. They crows a few times a day but they all get it out of their system at the same time. Plus all the silkie roosters are people friendly. I don't tolerate aggression.
