I have been suspecting and too scared to look calmly for about 3 weeks now but it really is true. From 18 chicks I have 4 hens and 14 roosters. Not sure what to do. I have a list of very patient people waiting for hens (and 1 rooster). and I really want to keep one of the hens (and 1 rooster) for my breeding program, so that leaves 3 hens ready for new homes. Risk of nature... O

This lovely boy is free to a good home. He isn't fully grown yet but if you are looking for golden chicks this spring, he is your man.
All JoJo's chicks are roosters. All 5! They are cute little boys if anyone is wanting one. All free. They are too young to see how they turn out but if you want to make sure your rooster is really tame get a really young one like this. Update: 2 August 2013, all roosters have found new homes, thanks everyone. It is very quiet here with just 10 hens, 2 pullets and Bobby & Colin.. I have given 8 eggs to Josephine - I couldn't stand it anymore and there was no convincing her to get off the nest! She has tucked them all in and made little clucking noises to them. She is just so fat and healthy, all her feathers are smooth and colours clean. This is her second setting for the season. The first set worked out well - 10 out of 10 eggs hatched - unfortunately a crow got one in the first few days. From the remaining 9 we have had 5 hens and 4 cockerels. One of the cockerels is large with quite dark feathers, we have called him Frank and he looks like next seasons main man at this stage.
The other 3 cockerels are lighter and starting to get golden feathers on their necks - one in particular is strong and has great feet feathers - he should be a great breeder is anyone is interested in him. All 3 are free if anyone would like one. |
