Sounds good - thanks!

OH wow! We do live and learn, do we not?

Thank you for the input - If I'm gonna be a chicken farmer, I gotta learn to do it all :).

Yes - I have been watching these - most of what I've seen lately though are roos. But thanks.

Yes - all but one it seems - but not intentionally. Went to someone that was getting rid of all his chicks - they were in a pen with about 50 more and my friend just chased them down and grabbed them. At 4 weeks old we just couldn't tell.

I am just over the SC border - so we might just be close enough. Email me at cpurvis@ec.rr.com.

Well Said :). I am not opposed to the food aspect - we are avid lovers of venison which my hubby brings home, cleans and processes. But being a "country girl" of only a few months now, and of a soft-hearted nature, I am trying to decide if it's worth it to me to grow my food or just give away...

Thank you ALL for your comments. I am already preparing myself for the inevitable. I have been hearing the roos crow for a few weeks - so funny - but yesterday I got to see 3 of them crow. One was my easter egger, one the ameraucana, and ONE of the buffs. They are getting a bit more aggressive...

Hi everyone. I am new to raising chickens so I had a friend that has done it go with me to pick 6 new chicks (4 weeks old). Well I now have, I think, 5 roos, much to my chagrin. I love these guys and they all know their "mama". But they are only 4 months old and I know things may get ugly...
