The time has come to say goodbye. Parting will not be too sorrowful. My big, beautiful rooster Tiny will be headed to the crock-pot tomorrow and will be remembered with rice and a nice green salad. I got this rooster specially for this years hatch; but he turned out to be a little too agressive. I got tired of being stalked and pounced on by the very large cocky fellow. I couldn't get the eggs out of the coop without going in armed with a metal trash can lid. The lid made a very satisfying clang when he "ran" into it. Ok, ok, maybe I bonked him on the head with it a few times but only because he asked for it!
The hatching in my incubator has not gone extremely well this year, the hatch rate was very low two batches in a row. I really don't know what the problem is. I got a new incubator this year and followed the instructions to the letter. I decided to put the incubator away. I have 4 hens that have become broody and are sitting on eggs so I will see what happens the natural way.
Remember, don't count your chickens before they are hatched!
Blessings!
Well, was Tiny better on the plate than in the henhouse?
