I definitely "think" I want to keep the white but I do really love the one w/ red on wings too..............I have 9 hens that are a year old plus the 4 newest pullets...........could I keep 2 roosters or would they fight over so few females?

Anyone in Central Illinois interested in EE crossed w/ Blue Maran roosters? They should be olive egger roosters. I also have a polish rooster :)

We are in central Illinois..........I believe the second one is EE crossed w/ blue maran

Yes got them all at the same time............last year we added 12 and only 2 were boys.........this year I specifically wanted olive eggers & chocolate eggers and bought 9........5 were boys.........ughhh!

I agree all the boys are beautiful.........I can only keep one though I think I am going to keep the white EE/blue maran cross........suppose to be an olive egger. I don't think any of the olive eggers turned out to be pullets. I think I ended up w/ 2 blue maran pullets, a polish pullet & a...

Pretty sure these 4 are boys I think these are girls I think there is one girl & one boy polish

Anyone in the Decatur area interested in a free brahma cockerel?

I have three Brahma's that were sold as pullets but I am pretty sure this one is a roo............they are all the same age but this one has much redder combs & the tail feathers are different. What do you think?

Thanks.............been hard getting time to work on completing the run..........between rain & lack of days off............we are hoping to finish it today though............lets hope weather & time cooperate

Husband & I have thought about getting chickens for around 3 yrs............I saw pin on pintrest of a coop made from repurposed playhouses and decided this year was the year I will admit it ended up not being as "simple" as I thought it would and honestly we still aren't done but the coop...

Thanks for the welcome.........haven't said much but definitely have been reading

I was able to get both playhouses for free.........I read a lot of other people's experience w/ the playhouses and winter...........we are going to fill the Barbie ones walls w/ blow in insulation and make a straw wall of insulation around the outside this fall/winter. All of the windows have...
