Tomorrow is butchering day and I am undecided on this one. I think roo, but am not 100% convinced. What say you??

Just confirming these are all fellas before they go in the freezer. Mainly the white ones....they are about 5 months old. Thanks!

Just catching some zzz's on a lazy Sunday afternoon :love

That's what TSC said - but can he be an EE without the puffy face?

Who can tell me what this guy is?

I think 2 and 4 are actually the same chicken! Here are hopefully better pics - not in same order. First one hatched late May-early June, other 3 early May.

Making sure not to sell any girls! Are these all boys??

Please educate me....what makes it obvious?

That is so awesome. I love it. I am dying laughing and picturing it in my head!

These 2 are 5 months old - I had been thinking pullets, but now I am wondering about the red one. They are both mixed breeds. They are giant compared to all my other girls and the others in their flock were very obviously either boys or girls weeks and weeks ago. I have not yet seen these 2...

Thanks for the feedback! I am going to try to splint it today and see how she does. I don't mind close observation for a bit since she is so young. If she were older maybe she'd be in the stew pot for dinner tonight. They aren't laying much now anyway, my 17 layers are only giving me about 3...

I have a hen that is an 11 month old Barred Rock. I am pretty sure she got her leg run over by the car today. It just hangs limp and she obviously can't walk on it. Is there anything I can do for her? Or will she need to go in the freezer? If there is no hope for recovery then I don't want...
