Going to pick up some new chickens tomorrow.

I need to add a few girls to the flock. I lost a couple of my older girls in the last year and I’m down to five now. Going to pick up some pullets, four I think, to liven things up a bit. It’s always interesting, the addition of new girls to the yard. Will be fun!

So do you impregnate them yourself or do you have to get a rooster?

Get a rooster.

Breed your own.

Eat the excess males

How old do you cull the males at? Curious how big they can get before they turn into assholes.

Been very impressed with these sex link hens. They lay a lot, are very very friendly, and seem to be pretty tough.

What breed of chickens do you prefer?

Got 40 about feathered enough to go out to a tractor. They're just for meat. 40 ducks are coming tomorrow.

Nice I’m getting chickens later this month. Would you post the inside of your coop? I’m building mine and need some ideas for the interior

Nice. Had mine for a week.

Did you get babies? I’m getting fully feathered teenagers. I guess like 8-10 weeks old. I’ve had peeps before. Just don’t have the time for the indoor brooding this go around. I sure do like the new babies though.

Takes a year before laying
