    Space and ventilation questions?

    I have an old play house that was converted to a coop. Its 17² ft (how do you get 17² feet you ask? by having a tree go though the middle of course) currently there are 4 chickens in there.

    Pullet sneezing or hiccuping violently

    Any guess on gender?

    I have three 10 1/2 week old chicks. I was wondering about gender because we aren't allowed to have roosters. There is one each of a barred rock, a Cuckoo maran, and a buff orpington. They were all bought as pullets but the maran and the Orpington have been kinda chest bumping? The maran is...

    Pullets or cockerels?

    We bought three chicks on July 25. They are 5 weeks old and I was wondering if someone could tell what their gender is. We bought them as pullets but we aren't so sure about the buff orpington. . . . The first one is a cuckoo Maran then a barred rock then a buff orpington. !
