Terry and I finally got around to having the chicken debate and decide what of our stock needs to go. We have five roosters - we can keep two - so which three to give their marching orders?
When we finish the new pen, the changes will be:
* The Plymouth Rock rooster, the three PR hens, two other hens, Australorp and our three hens will go into one pen. This will be for the bigger chickens and hopefully our 'productive' ones! I think Terry, mum and dad want to add a couple of Isa Brown's to this flock too for their egg laying ability.
* We will keep the biggest Silkie X rooster (who will need a name of course - hmmm will have to think on that one), Violet (the Silkie) and Lucky (the little modern hen that has survived) who will go into the other pen. We then plan on getting some more Silkie hens for that pen.
* The other big rooster and the two silkie cross roosters will stay in the existing pen until we can get them to Ballimore auction.
So, lots to do this weekend!
