Oleos eggs hatched!!!
Shes an OK mama, but her chick is soooooo adorable. Already making 'big girl' poops. Also, we're selling some of and our rooster, Danny, might go. I dont WANT him to go! ): i love that boy, but we have no use for him since I'll be getting lavender ameracaunas. I dont want him to go!!!! Should I keep him or let him go? (Say keep him!!!!!)

I would keep him and see how it goes. I have multiple roosters around at all times. Sometimes they get along and sometimes they don't. Right now we have a good mix of guys out there that don't fight with each other. They kind of keep to their own territory and their own group of hens. If one of them starts turning aggressive, they go into rooster purgatory, (a cage) then leave the farm (via the oven, lol).
But you'll have to make sure your new Americauna rooster is fertilizing the eggs you want, so I would imagine you'd have to keep them separate if you want specific breeds. But I would keep Danny since he seems like a nice rooster!
Cute chicks!

Chicks are so cute! How many did you get from this hatch?
We have multiple roosters running around. As mentioned - it just depends on the individual birds if it will work or not. Of our approx 30 chickens (they are free range...hard to count!), we have at least 10 roosters. A large number of them are banties, from our batch we got from school this summer ( a classroom hatches them for a learning experience for the kids, then they give them to us). If we have one who aggressive to us, kids or the other birds, he's history. They are a menace, and not any genetics you want to perpetuate.
Of our standard chickens, 2 are our main roosters, and each maintains his own group of hens. They actually roost, and hang out in separate areas most all the time. They even come in to eat and drink at different times. We had a 3rd rooster, but he was getting mean, and we added the Maran rooster that we really preferred...so back to 2 big boys.

Well the person is coming out in a hour.... I already specified in the ad I'm ancy about selling him and I'll just say "My sister didn't want to sell him, its her chicken" LOL. I can blame the sis!! Oh and they are coming out and will prolly get all 5 of the hens for sale. Which means I'll have 4 hens, 1 rooster, and a serema pair, LOL! Oh and a chick. LOL! I will never consider seremas chickens LOL.
At one point we had 3 roosters and 4 hens.... hehe, it was a prob! So we kept the best boy (wish we would've kept them all tho All we had to do was get some more hens!! )
So yeah, we'll keep her.
Oh and sass ate a BUNCH of horse feed (mom got 'goat grain' from Walmart.... it was 16% sweet feed for horses. Ugh. So we feed them a handful a day of it) and had a bunch of poops this morning, but we gave her (me , my mom, and a lot of strength) bakingsoda water and she has normal poops again!!
Only 1 chick, but shes sooo adorable. Oh, and her mom gets to live inside of our house with her

OH MAH GAWD!!
So I e-mailed Toni-Marie asking about the ohikis again, and she said "Ok, just call me back or e-mail', which basically means shes still willing to offer the ohikis.
Oh, and did I forget to mention, My parents said YES to ohikis !!? ????
TELL ME WHEN TO SHUT UP!!

The whiter one is the wether baby, hes SO big yet younger then sass ! Oh and BOY does he have energy!!! He LOVES to spring around randomly (which causes uncomfortable comfort level due to the fact your wondering 'Is he gonna run into me?????' )Oh, and she tried to pick a fight with the bigger goats, along wit Chugiak
Oh, and the chick is GREAT! Shes sooooo adorable!!
Her udder seems to have OK attatchments.... But it wasn't too full so I dunno. I'm gonna try and milk her in the morning with the help of my mom -> shes a bit ancy about her udder being touched.
It'll be my first time milking AND getting goat milk!!
The lump on the wether is a milk goiter
