Thank you. Do yours stay in a coop with your chickens?

Ive got 2 young turkeys, do yall leave your birds locked up or let them free range? Do you clip their wings or do they ever try to fly off? Mine are red bourbons, i think a tom and a hen

Thanks everyone. My birds roam the pasture most of the day, get locked up at night in their coop. I don't let many chicks hatch I collect the eggs daily. If I do have chicks they stay with mama. I'm thinkin two males and probably will have them neutered. My thought was get them young and if they...

I'm thinkin of getting couple kittens so they grow up knowing the chickens won't put up with them. How do you keep them from messing with them again? I've never had cats

Does anyone have barn cats? I'm looking to get two to cut down on my mouse infestation. Do your cats mess with your chickens at all??

Thanks!! The smaller one has some small white feather specks on top of her head. Got them from tractor supply at Easter for my little girl so there's no telling what they truly are! They said mallards, I knew they weren't when I bought them lol. That makes sense though about the bigger one maybe...

I had two eggs again today. 1 grey, 1 white. Just like yesterday!

Here's the one I'm thinking is the hen. Here they are together. The "drake" is on the left, quite a bit bigger.

Here are pictures of what I am thinking is the drake.

Thanks by the way!! Mine run with all my chickens and get along very well

The two different colored eggs were throwing me off. I didn't know that she could lay different colored eggs. I'm pretty sure it's a drake but no curl feathers yet. Guess they may come this fall? She laid two today a darker colored one and a whitish one. Here's a pic. Probably can't see their...

I bought two Cayugas from tractor supply at Easter. Not sure if it's a drake and hen or two hens. They've started randomly laying eggs. Some grayish/white others dark gray/blackish. Could they be from the same hen or do you think they may both be hens?? I'm an avid waterfowl hunter but domestic...

My roosters the older one is a RIR. The other is a buff Orpington

I've got 9 hens now. Will be getting more in the next few months. I've got 2 roosters. 1 is young the other is a little over a year old.

I've just got them as pets and egg layers. They roam the yard. From time to time I let one or two eggs hatch out.

He seems to be gettin around better. Still have them separated due to the fact the older guy jumps on him immediately. They are becoming more social the last couple days. So he should be back with the flock in a day or two

To me it looks like he just bends it to not put weight on it. When I feel his leg it all moves normal and feels solid, he doesn't try to get away or anything when I move his leg around. Thoughts?

Here is a back view. He does walk on it and put pressure on it. It's the left leg.

What is a good hen to rooster ratio?
