It’s spring time, and you know what that means! Or maybe you don’t, so I’ll tell you...
It means chicks!
New baby chickens are being added to the flock and we are smitten. We’ve brought home 10 so far this year and each one is named after a country music superstar. It’s hard to determine genders for most breeds of chickens at such a young age, but we are thinking we have 8 hens and 2 roos. We would love to introduce them to you, and let them each share a fun fact about chickens.
Conway Tweety wants you to know that a rooster is not necessary to have a flock of hens that lay eggs. Hens will lay their eggs regardless, and roosters are only necessary if you want to hatch chicks. Lots of back yard chicken farmers prefer to have no roosters in their flock so that there is no chance of accidental fertilization.
