Huntington's

We are going to try to conceive next month. Just found out my aunt has Huntington's.

She was probably not even going to tell us. They were talking about what people in our family have died of (which my in-laws asked me last week so I had looked at a text she sent me like 10 years ago) and I mentioned how she had told me previously that her grandmother (my great) had Huntington's.

And my cousin goes "she has it" because she thought we already knew. She would not have told us otherwise.

My grandmother (her mom) and my mother both died young of cancer so they could have had it, which means that I and my children could also have it.

Roosters seeking new home

Five young stud muffins seeking new home. Trying to beef up your flock? Look no futher than Peck-orino, Muenster, Colby, Monterey, and Sappy Ewe.

Unfortunately due to the amount of space and hens we have, we are unable to keep all the roosters and are looking for local farms that may be looking for a new protector for their flock.

All of these are just under 20 weeks and are decently friendly. They love eating treats out of your hand and have interacted with both dogs and children.

Please note: we were chicken owners preciously and tried to expand our hen flock. Buying pullets means they are sexed to be female. Unfortunately, due to a grave hatchery error, we got all roosters.

Roosters generally need a minimum of 10 hens each or else they will destroy each other and the hens by over mating.

We have never rehomed an animal and are very upset that we are at this point, but for the safety of our flock simply cannot keep them all.

Also note: I checked the rules and have not seen anything against posting here. Please let me know if not allowed. Thank you!

Is this rooster #6?

Bought 14 pullets from Tractor Supply and have 5 confirmed roosters.

Could this Oliver Egger be a #6?

Please say no. About 18-20 weeks

Yet another Roo post

Hi all,

I do not normally believe in seeing this early, but two of my rustic rock pullets are looking rather large and feathery. These are 13ish weeks.

Just for giggles, just thought I would ask what you all think of my roos(?)

Note: all the other chickens in view are the same age as the two potentials. One of them is massive, but the other I feel has more of the other physical attributes.

Thanks!

(PS. I took this picks in really bright glare and not able to see well, quality is not great)

I already searched the sub and did not find anything super relevant. I appreciate discussion and answers here!

We had a large egg, like the size of my hand.

We have four wyandottes that are coming up on three years old. We are unsure which one laid this.

I thought it was a double yoke, as we get those maybe twice a year and when my husband cracked it this is what came out.

The second yolk is from another egg he already cracked.

Any thought on what this may be or health issues?

We have a bunch of chicks we are going to be moving out with them next week and want to make sure we are squared away.

Thanks!
