    Growing my little flock

    Prefect pairing! He looks quite proud again ☺️ I have a little spicey silkie hen I moved into the breeding flock because they have a big run and we haven't finished the run for the pen she is in, she wanted outside so bad. The rooster dance for her and she just ignores him, she too busy...

    Ooh, that's awesome that the timing is working out. I've never ordered directly from a hatchery but I've heard good things about Cackle.

    Growing my little flock

    I'm not sure if they'd pack with cockerels, you could call and ask them. I've read on some hatchery websites that they'll do extras of whatever you already purchased, so if you bought all pullets the extra should be a pullet also. But it would be safer to call them. The hatching eggs would be...

    Growing my little flock

    The little cage sounds like a good idea! I've had 6 Black Astraulorps, 3 from one hatchery and 3 from another. From Mt Healthy I got 2 massive ones and one normal sized, and from the other hatchery (bought at a local farm store) I have 1 big but not nearly as big as the My Healthy ones, and 2...

    Growing my little flock

    Oh my, you have some boy drama going on! My Barred Rock girls have all been pretty bossy things, the EEs have been a little flighty but not aggressive, I have the full spectrum from spicy mean to super sweet and calm with the Black Astraulorps. Hatching eggs 😃 yeah :woot

    Growing my little flock

    So... the ones I've separated have all found uses outside of the flock 🙄 I had two I tried to put back together and that didn't work. I'm curious if larger numbers are better than pairs. I can see it going either way. You know, those mechanical pluckers come in real handy 😎

    Growing my little flock

    I haven't had to mix different ages yet, but I have had to separate a few of them. This spring will be the first test as I'll be mixing different ages together, but I also plan to have them away from the ladies so I hope that helps. We'll be processing any mean ones is the plan. I've read...

    Growing my little flock

    Oh wow, that is a pretty high miminum! Would you be able to find someone to split them with you? Or grow them out for a few weeks and sell a couple? Not that it is easy to let them go once you're attached to them :hit our minimum here is 4 at TSC, the maximum set by my hubby is 0 😕 ok...

    Growing my little flock

    My hubby likes the roosters more than the hens because they are "prettier" he likes the extra colors that the roosters usually sport. I think we will end up making a bigger bachelor coop this year for his boy flock 🤣

    I'm so sorry for your loss :hugs Tough choice on incubating more or not, the extra boys do add up quickly. Keep us posted.
