Our neighbours have complained about our rooster so we are closed. Looking for an urgent home for beautiful Liam - best rooster I have had for years.
I'm just a bit teary. I love my chooks. I'll keep all the hens I have now but no more chicks or breeding program. thanks everyone,

With only 5 hens we are little short this season but Liam our rooster is very young.
Lots of chicks are hatching: 7 chicks to Naula (Oct 2018) 6 chicks to Siobhan (Oct 2018), 8 chicks to Mairin (Nov 2018) and 10 eggs yet to hatch with Naeve.... Julia has just started laying so if we are lucky some from her as well. We have done very well with the chick hatching but things have not gone so well this week: Of Nuala's 7 chicks only 2 are pullets and now Nuala has died so unexpecedly so we are all very sad. Siobhans has 6 chicks but only 2 pullets as well. Mairin's chicks are only 2 weeks old so I cant tell what gender they are yet. Her chicks are from Liam so hopefully we do better than the eggs from Habib (Nuala and Siobhan) We currently only have 4 hens so I'll need to keep some pullets myself as we usually have 8 here in the garden. |
