And just how are you keeping him away from her? :unsure:
Thier in the same space for now, she should start to lay in the next month or so she’ll be moved upto my friends farm bye then.
How many of your birds have ended up at your friend's farm?

He's never going to have to buy another bird with you around. :ROFLMAO:

Umm I would say thiers around 15 iv put thier now 😆 he has tons of space and loves the birds I give him iv given him some really nice birds and all healthy obv coarse, I can still get any of ththem m back for breeding ect so it’s a win win for everyone.
You do have a good setup then. I had a friend that any birds she wouldn't use for breeding she gave to someone else who sold them. The one didn't have to fuss with rehoming them a few at a time, the other picked up a little money on the side.

Update on the whole farm situation, my friend called me up tonight and says he has a half acre plot thier I can use rent free for my birds so I’m going to move them all up thier once I have adequate fencing and stuff put up should take me around a week I’m so happy and not at the same time, I love my chickens out back and being able to go sit with them but happy they get more space to freerange.
This is so not good. You'll just jam pack that area with more birds and if your back yard is empty you'll fill that back up too.

Liam, you have a problem. And there ain't no one here that will help you. :ROFLMAO:

I’m telling myself the farm space should be enough; we’ll more so telling the wife that lol,

I am going to miss my morning wake up calls for treats and sound of them doing thier happy egg song all through the day.
Then don't send them all to the farm, keep some there at the house so it's not so crowded and you're not so overwhelmed.

I have to as the tenancy agreement for the house has chickens listed as livestock so I’ll find out today if I can keep them here, if not it’s just gonna be my space at the farm I’ll be able to have them, tbf it’ll work out better for me as I can get more birds that I want and can start to sell thier eggs iv had people from small caffe and snackvans asking me if I can produce around 100 every two days if I can get their I can make enough to feed the birds for free and a little extra for me.

Well crap. I didn't know it was questionable on whether you could have them at the house or not.

I strongly suggest you pull the roosters if you're going to sell eggs. It will only take once for someone to get a partially developed chick to kill your little side business. If you can keep a couple of birds at the house, make one of those a rooster and don't sell those eggs.
