I went out today to see the flock and feed them some greens.
One of the white “hens” was looking a heap bigger than her sisters
Sent off a pic to the breeder, with my suspicions
And she had confirmed we have a white Roo!
So she will be in the area early next week and will pick up the Rooster and when she has more hens ready to go I’ll be getting two new hens
These things happen snd the breeder was so lovely
She will swap one hen for the rooster and I’ll buy the second as introducing one chicken into the flock isn’t ideal
We discussed what I would like and I’m going to get two different colours.
If anyone ever wanted to buy chickens I’d very happily recommend my breeder
So it won't be roasted roo with potatoes 😂
ReplyDeleteNot this time no. Because their pure breed they are a tad expensive so I’ll swap him for a her and buy a second her as well got to buy quality stock to breed
DeleteWhy can't you keep Roo? Other than he doesn't lay, of course.
ReplyDeleteTwo roosters with only a few hens will not only fight for the top job but the poor hens won’t get a peace Plus they are eating food that is now getting more and more expensive
DeleteThank you. I know little about chooks, obviously.
DeleteThere is no such thing as a silly question. That’s how we learn
