Sure it's a rooster? If so, he's a broody one, alrighty. The hens must

love him - they lay and he sits on them. That's funny. Hope she enjoys

the eggs.

Deanna,

The whole operation is a joke, other than the bio-philia aspect. She

thinks eating the eggs is " gross " --would never--just enjoys caring for

the animals. I trust she can tell a rooster from a hen, though, and

she only got one pair of Barreds.

Oh. That's okay. She is getting garden fertilizer and pest control

thanks to the chickens. My Silkies have been weeding grass out of the

flower garden lately, which is excellent. And they really are fun to

watch and enjoy. What does she do with the eggs? Chickens love hard

boiled eggs, but that may be even grosser.
