ARGHHH! Stupid rooster!

   When I was in Utah last week, I bought a dozen fertile eggs to hatch in my incubator. I also gathered eggs from my hens over the next few days because I want some cochin chicks! Last night I candled my eggs and was really excited to see that my wyandotte eggs are developing nicely. Then I got to the eggs from my hens. Nothing. Not one little speck or blood vein in those eggs. Nothing at all. Mr Chicken just might be in trouble.

Did I mention he's mean?

Meet Mr Chicken.

We found someone to adopt my murderous rooster and my hen molesting duck. My hens got this strapping bird in exchange. Mr. Chicken is a cochen. He was given to me by a friend of a friend because she had two of these guys. He is quite gentleman courting my hens and doing his best to get on their good side. The girls are still a bit apprehensive. They try to fight with him, which is funny because he just looks at them like "Is that supposed to hurt?" I am hoping any chicks from this guy will lay jumbo eggs and be just as gentle as he is. Here's hoping!!
