The boys are back in town
July 26th, 2010
One a recent post I mentioned that I have just reintroduced chickens into the permanent run. These were hybrid girls, and I was looking for a handsome Rooster to join them. Well the ‘prayers’ were answered…
Today I picked up a pair of very handsome Australorp roosters from a local breeder. It was pure luck, or not depending on your beliefs, that I found a breeder literally around the corner with a few ‘boys’ available.
I collected two boys and they are now living with their little ‘harem’ in the permanent run.

Should have read all your new posts before commenting! So the two boys get on OK with each other?!
Hi Rosemary
The boys do get along though there is the odd ‘scrap’ as the more dominant fellow asserts his authority. But these bouts aren’t much more than the usual pecking order arguments and don’t overly concern me.
Of course if the arguments pick up a notch or two, then changes might need to be made.
Cheers
