Chicken Rotation

On Monday, November 4, we rotated chicks to different coops. The Oct 23-28 chicks were moved outside room 1 coop.

The Silkies which had been in the room 1 coop were moved into the main chicken coop small room.

The Aug 27 and Sept 11 chicks are now free-ranging with the main flock of chickens.

The weird 8 chickens that we received from Jamir Bravo are also with the main flock.

Egg production has dropped from 16 - 18 eggs a day down to about 5 eggs per day. We have at least three broody hens. We have not received a blue/green egg in a month. We should have 3 hens laying this color egg.

We still have Rock Star our Polish Rooster. He is separated from the flock because the other roosters don't like him. The other 3 roosters will pick on him, especially the Black Maran rooster we have.
