Tee hee, ones I eat come in plastic too 'cause I'd never kill anything - mine all die of old age Wink

This is really just a retirement home for animals Rolling Eyes

We always hatched more roosters too. I think my place is gonna be a retirement home for critters. When my mares are done for breeding, and I am pretty sure this is the last time, I don't think my husband will part with them. They really can't be seperated. Well the mares or my husband....

He sounds like a good man to me. I wouldn't have a partner that didn't love animals, anyway they'd never put up with me and my horde if they didn't Wink

A man ain't no man if he doesn't love animals!

New babies! 5 chicks hatched out yesterday and today. they are so fuzzy cute. I hope they are all hens and not gay roosters!
we have 14 roosters and only 4 hens from the chicks we bought last year.

That's why I buy girls!! I have put my "gay"rooster back in with the main harem so we'll see what happens Very Happy

How can you tell the sex when they are small? We are up to 7 now.

It is very hard to sex them but I can tell you that I hatch more roosters than hens. I do know that with some peeps, if they have a black spot on their head, yes, that is a rooster.

Chicken sexing is a highly skilled job. When my husband asked how to tell the sex of geese the laconic salesman said " if they lay eggs they are a female"......very helpful....not!!
