Hi! 8 week old bird with red and black wings is obviously not the barred rock pullet we thought we purchased at 3 day’s old. Please help me figure out what the breed is, and if it’s a rooster! Thanks in advance!
Our 3 hens enjoy grazing in our backyard all day.
The grass there is very weedy due to the poor quality soil, and I'd like to try to use herbicides and fertilizers to actually turn it into a nice lawn.
If I do that, will it hurt my chickens? And can we eat their eggs?
