I went through the baby bunny trauma a couple of weeks ago when DD was housesitting for my parents and Dad's cat brought a tiny bunny home alive. He only has a few teeth left, (cat is 14), but he had enough to do damage when DD tried to get the baby away from him. Lily called me crying and I rushed over, but bunny was already gone, so we buried him.

Hope all your extra roosters find good homes! I'm curious at what age most of you decide to let your cockerels go? I've got one guy that will have to go, but he's only 5 weeks right now.

as soon as I figure out they are roosters lol...but nobody ever wants em...

SO cute - I like the first photo where the group is hanging in the background waiting for their individual photo shoot. You're right - those orps are some BIG babies.

Ditto.

I always try and sell them first. Never know if anyone local needs a new roo for their breeding project. I have found that offering them for free works, but they go straight into someone else's freezer. If I can't sell them, we'll process them ourselves. But I probably have over 15? That seems like a lot! Hopefully a few of them will find new homes!

OK, I just counted. I have 20 little boys, and more eggs incubating.

That's what I'm afraid of. The guy I'm most worried about is the Light Sussex baby. He was crossed either with Golden Cuckoo Marans or black orpington, but he's HUGE and of course, very friendly. I don't know that I'll be able to find a home for a mutt. Beyond that I guess I just don't want to know.

All good looking birds - but I have to say that Hoss is one majestically handsome boy!

he is!! and I must say somewhat intelligent! one day he decided he should be the boss and tried to flog me...I whooped his butt, chased him all over the property kickin him in the butt. then he got stuck under a wheel barrow so I grabbed him and put him on his back and grabbed him by the feathers on his head and held him...till I could breathe again lol. took a while. he thought about it again one other time...he quickly changed his mind when I came right at him. he ran. he now does his job and keeps out of my way. I walk him backwards every now and then to remind him. he doesnt hold a grudge either cause if I call them he comes running as fast as he can to see what I have and share it with the girls.
lol with all that said, one of my 12 weekers decided today that he should bite my legs or feet. he got a pass the first bite, second one he learned how to fly twice as high as he usually does. 3rd time (about 10 minutes ago) got him booted chased grabbed and locked away in a crate, he goes to the feed store tomorrow. attacking my feet and legs will not make me drop the food...

I need to get pics of the ones I just got from you too, they are turning out very nice and different colors, and I bet you will be able to tell the roos from the girls!! lol

CL what is the youngster in the front just off to the left of the second pic? Boy, girl, BW or just Wheaten? Max looks just like that! I don't think he is blue though. Everything is turning black on his chest and in his tail, Hackle feathers are striped like that and Saddle feathers are coming in that deep chestnut brown. Thoughts? He is so cute right now. I think he will be good to the girls, but who knows?
