Have 6 Roosters (they are 5 months old) that must go within the next few days...otherwise, we're eating them! They pecked one of our hens almost to death today and I won't stand for that! Must be able to pick up.

Here are a couple of pics...

I have Cuckoo Marans and I raised them from chicks. My question is some are dark almost black are those hens? because the ones that look similar to a barred rock look like roosters and are lighter in color.

It's not the heat because there not trying to get away and the bedding is pine shavings. I raised 12 barred rocks the same way and all of them lived

Anyone know what might be wrong here? I just received these from Ideal Poultry Friday and have had 3 die 1 had a deformed beek which I didn't expect to live the other 2 I have no Idea. I ordered 15 they sent 20 so i am still good just want to make sure it is not something i am doing. The temp is...

I received some cuckoo marans from Ideal Friday only had 2 to die .One had a deformed beek and don't know what happen to the other one.I had originally ordered 15 they sent 20.I ordered 12 barred rock before and all of them lived.So I can't complain and I live in NC.

I have 18 BR hens I'll take $45.00 for all excellent layers and you can have the rooster which is br/dom and one hen I'm not sure of. I was Laidoff in March and having to persue a new career driving a truck and want be able to take care of them . If interested just pm me. P.S six of those...

I don't know if they were or not but they seem to eat and drink fine there not having a problem with it . I just did not see it when I brought them home.

Has anyone received pullets from a Poultry and there peeks be cut or trimmed ? I've had mine about a week and just now notice this just wanted to make sure it was not some kind of disease.Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I'm glad I only have one rooster he's not a problem . It's his lady Freinds that don't want to be nice.

My question is do the current hens I've had for a while ever quit pecking at the new pullets? Or do I need to seperate them and put my newbies elsewhere.I know they have a so call pecking order just like someone elses piece of mind on this. Thanks .
