I thought about keeping them, I may try and trade them for some hens. I do not particularly want roosters, too loud for my blood though they haven't started crowing yet. Thanks for verifying my suspicions. They are pretty birds the pictures do not help. Thanks, Jesse

Here they are at 4-5 months still think rooster or hen?[/IMG]

First off thank you for all the responses, this community is a great resource for knowledge. Hopefully one day I will be able to leave some advice for others to take.I youtubed the black soldier fly pen and it looks fairly easy to set up. Perhaps in the near future it would be a great source of...

My friend has a compost pile and he found a bunch of maggots, he gave some to his chicks and I brought some home for mine. I'm guessing it doesn't hurt them. Are they mean to be treats or is something, if harnessed, can be a food source? Video won't up load so here are a couple pics

Got a bunch of pallets from tsc, just have some last details, roof and trim and some paint. I have six baby chic snow. The run will be 15' by 5'.

This is my first time building a coop, it will house 6 chickens. It is 46x65, it's definitely on the smaller side. I constructed the roost frame so it will fold up, that should make it easier to clean under. My question is how high should they be and how close/ far away should they be from...
