I think some people forget that animals acclimate to their climate. So a hen in Florida for example is not as used to the cold as a hen in Canada. 30 will not kill a bird, but it will make them uncomfortable if they’re used to more warmth. Just keep the wind off of them but make sure that there...

Umm, no. They are just mutt chickens. They won’t have any issues that a purebred wouldn’t have. Good luck with your chicks!

They are happy and healthy right now so I’m hoping I get some more time with them. Their combs have been bright red for an entire day now. Thank you for all the comments, I will be able to handle it better if I walk outside one day and they’re dead

Alrighty, I’ll just love her while I can

I’ll try and find a local vet. Thanks for the information!

They are from TSC, so not the best quality of bird. They all have speckles in their tail feathers too

You’re saying that there IS a big problem? Have you dealt with this issue before??

Thanks for the help! I think it is circulation because their combs are bright red this morning

My chickens just laid their first eggs!!!!! I’m so happy

All pullets!

I’m sticking with pullet

G/Mexican pebbles looks like the best option to me! I hope to get ducks in the future and I’d love to find some rock like that

I am 90% sure that’s a pullet

Rounded feathers means pullet, Pointed feathers mean cockerel. I see some roundish ones but it might just be the coloring

I currently just have wood chips and other natural things, but I’ve always wondered if pea gravel would work. Interesting thread!:pop

Could you get pictures of their feathers right at the base of their tail?

Get a bunch of wood chips and throw it in there. I had a horribly flooded coop until I did that. Now my coop is clean and doesn’t smell. I also threw in some pine straw and grass clippings
