I was just at my neighbors looking at her new coop.. very nice btw, and her 4 RIR from the feed store.. Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Tennessee..
I'm thinkin' Georgia is a roo.. anyway
To each her own ...
My roo is Poppy-Cock and my hens are all my 'lovely ladies'
I'm terrible at sexing chicks.. TERRIBLE!
Sooooo I went to youtube for other's imputs.. tried the feather sexing.. they made it look so stinkin' easy and by that method I had 100% pullets!
Yes, I am that lucky! ha! (70% roos!)
My kind words to you are good luck and the ones that lay eggs...

I just got my first Australorp, I'm not familiar with the breed but she sure is sweet! I stumbled across a chicken auction and just couldn't resist her she was so friendly! I paid enough that the auctioneer I'm sure will be sending me a Christmas card .. and it turns out i was bidding against...
I hope you're all having a better morning than I am.. I have a large Hatchrite Incubator that I currently have 21 dozen large breed eggs set in and we're on Day 5.. well, I opened the door and wasn't greeted with the resounding hum of the Incy this morning; instead the room was cold and the...
Sorry for your loss. We have had 3 kills here at our own "fort knox" and discovered via game camera that an almost once extinct fisher cat was our problem. It's amazing how small of an opening some predators can get through!
