Eggs and Changes.
I have a total of 11 of my own eggs in the incubator including THREE that are RAYNA's!! She's been laying about evey other day, these itty-bitty eggs. I really hope I get one of her babies from Apollo. *fingers crossed* Penny had been on a laying spree ever since she started laying again, I get one from her everyday just about. Dove and Autumn lay about every other to every three days. Sometimes a few days in a row. You never know with those two. I have four from Jesse's pen, and four from Penny (Apollo's pen) and three from Rayna (Apollo) BUT unfortunately I can't keep Apollo or Jesse. And if Apollo goes then so does Rayna... I just can't split them up... They are always together and if Rayna is stressed the Apollo is stressed and vice-versa. As much as I want to keep both of them, I need two boys that can actually stay in the same pen. And Apollo's got'n pretty territorial recently. So my decision has been made. I will keep Gizmo and Koda (baby from Autumn and Aaron) Since they are pretty much growing up together, there shouldn't be to many problems with them. So those two are going to be together no matter what, because that's the only way I can think of to get two Roos' to get along. If Apollo and Jesse even see each other, they puff up and start dancing around, looking like they could kill each other. But first I'd like to get some of their babies, that's why I want one from each hen and roo. It makes the special. It would be nice to have chickens that I myself have bred. And it'll keep the ones that leave with me for as long as their babies are with me. So by the end of February I'll be looking for homes for the boys and Rayna, who is to go with Apollo and STAY with Apollo. I may send a girl along with Jesse, so he has someone, he seems calmer with a girl.
