All good news  :thumbsup:

We've a clutch of 12 at the moment, sat and being reared by two hens working together.  All well so far :fc:

There are some chicks we think likely to be cockerels.  We discussed whether, if we were certain, we'd pop 'em off now.  Neither of us was able to answer ourselves.  ::)  Silly, of course, because it's easier, physically, when they're tiny.

But, it's a moot point, as we can't be certain.  So we will wait until we are certain, and do it then.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
