Good evening all!
I can't believe I haven't found this awesome resource before now!
I currently have 17 laying hens (6 × Buff Orpington, 5 × Plymouth Barred Rock & 6 × Rhode Island Red) and we also have 1 × Buff Orpington Rooster.
Some of our hens are a bit bald on their backs which I'm thinking is due to Rocket the Rooster but I'm not sure how to remedy this.
Also we are hoping to add some Cayugas and some Saxony ducklings to our little homestead this spring but I'm finding it near impossible to find any that aren't over 3 hours drive away.
We also have a pretty decent little garden that provide us a LOT of beautiful produced last year and so we are definitely going to be expanding that this year, along with adding rabbits and meat birds to the homestead.

..as you can see the welcome mat is out and the coffee on...ask away, anything that comes to mind...no judgement, and a lot of experience in the wings....and like Killerbunny said, hen saddles, unless you isolate the rooster for a while...
