Hoping someone can help me, is this a rooster? We had 5 eggs hatch in the fall, so far 2 of them are roosters, wondering if this one is also, the other 2 were obvious, they crowed like crazy!

Since spring started, my 5 hens are squawking a lot throughout the day, they are enclosed in a secured run in our backyard, we live in town so cant let them free range, they are a year old, there are no predators, dogs or cats around, could it be all the spring birds making them squawk all the...
I will be getting 3 new 22 week old pullets soon, I currently have 5 1 year old hens and am looking for any advice on the best way to introduce the new girls.
It is bitter cold right now, my girls were a lil puffed up and slow to come out of the coop this morning, I don't have any type of heat in my coop but for the next few days I'm thinking of putting some sort of heat source in it and was wondering what kind of red light I should set up for them?
Ok everyone, one of my GLW's layed this today and I'm kinda worried, it is oblong, slightly cracked on the small end and has blood on it! I lost a Buff Orpington a couple of weeks ago that had just started laying, only 3 eggs from her that were shaped like this one, but never any blood on it...

I have 6 girls that I thought would never start laying but I finally got my first egg this morning from my sweet Henrietta, she is a Buff Orpington......now we wait and see how long before the rest of the girls start laying. Its small but perfect!!!
My hens are almost 7 months old and I still haven't gotten any eggs, my other half says they better hurry up or we are going to have a lot of chicken soup! LOL......I have 3 Golden Wyndottes and 3 Buff Orpingtons, Started them on layer feed 3 weeks ago, also have oyster shell out for them, they...
1 of my Orpingtons has a comb injury, looks like she may have ripped 1 side, bloody, wiped it down as best I could, what can I put on it so the other chickens wont go after her comb?
I did put her in the coop until I can run and get something for her, would it be ok if I left the other chickens...
My girls just discovered their voices.....sitting in the kitchen this morning and heard some loud noises, went outside and its 1 of my girls for sure, very loud.........they are 19 weeks.....could it be we will have eggs soon?
My girls are 19 weeks, I have about a week left of their starter feed and am wondering if its ok to start them on layer feed, don't really want to have to buy another bag of starter when I have a full bag of layer feed ready?
