I guess I have been busy and just a bit stressed.
Our chicken coop was overwhelmed by roosters. We are never buying from Tractor Supply again. We bought four Rustic Rocks last spring and they all ended up being roosters. Nice roosters with people but vicious with the hens. It caused a lot of stress.
We had to put them all in the freezer last weekend.
The coop has quieted, we have three roosters remaining but they are two Silkies and a Bantam. All pretty harmless and nice with the hens.
During the time it took for us to finally handle the situation we had three hens injured, one killed, one traumatized, and three became daily escapees. We added an extension to the chicken yard for the hens that needed a break. The ducks lost their house to chickens who decided it made a dandy nesting box.
After eliminating the troublesome roosters we finally decide to fence part of the back yard so the hens can free-range if they want and an additional henhouse will be built to house the dedicated free-rangers and Blue, the more docile of the Silkie roosters.
Finally an easing of my stress.
