Very exciting day for some of the new Wyandotte chicks.  They have been "promoted" to the "Big Coop" with the laying flock.  Five cockerels and one pullet.  The boys were extremely confident with their peers, and have become instantly humbled in with the Big Girls!  I'm sure their esteem will return over time, but not much gets past these girls.  So for now, the motto is "safety in numbers."  They stick together like war buddies.   There are 9 left in the raising pens that seem to be developing into nice breeding birds.  We pulled out these birds with some obvious faults that do not need to be used for breeding.  The lucky pullet gets to stay and lay eggs with the rest of the big girls, but the cockerels will probably have a less glamorous ending, unless someone miraculously out grows their issues. In the raising pens, we still have 2 Black and  1 Blue Laced Red cockerels left in with 7  pullets that all look very nice up to this point.  Being only 4 months old, they still have quite a bit of time to grow into their potential.
