Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I have 6 cockerels now, and one of the older ones is attempting to mate the pullets. It's time to put all the cockerels together into the bachelor pad and move the younger pullets in with the older ones.

Do you still want to buy a few pullets @pennyJo1960 ? If you don't, no problem!

Guess I need to rid myself of cockerels as in 2 I did get 13 eggs the other night so really found did not need more, just need to get randy boys away.

13 eggs is a lot. My six older pullets are laying good now, 4 to 6 eggs a day, and the four younger pullets are starting to get red combs so they're getting closer to laying. Glad my neighbor likes eggs. LOL

I think I'm going to take the easy way out with my garden this year and direct seed everything in the garden, even the tomatoes. The three tomato plants I grew from seeds in the garden last year did pretty well.

I was thinking it was time to get my seedlings going. I didn't want to do it in February again because they got too tall. This time, if that happens, I will be trimming them down. There are varying opinions about that, but I'm going to give it a try. They did turn out fine last year. Will play it by ear I guess. Or, is that by sight?
