Hi Guys

A school I do some work for has offered me some chicks - all cocks

there are about 9, I've taken them the last two years but don't have any more room as I've now got 9 laying hens from last year..and the smallhodling that normally has the cocks them can't take them either :banghead:

Not entirely sure what they are but last year I had Rhode Island reds (i think)

Located near Portsmouth..

Might be difficult, hext. I think a lot of town poultry keepers aren't allowed cocks because of the noise nuisance.

Shame though, I'm imagining coq au vin for someone in the not too distant future - lots of it, mmmmmmmmmmmmm :lol:

When do the cocks start crowing - is it before the 16 week eating time?
