These are my babies from eggs I purchased. I can tell most of them by their distinctive chipmunk stripes on girls and the boys with dots on their heads, but there are 2 that are not very well marked. I am guessing that they are girls? I will not be keeping them to use for breeding due to not...

Hello, I have recently acquired 2 wooden shipping crates that have a floor size of 6x7' each. I am hoping to be able to turn them into 1 large coop that could also be divided into separate smaller areas for breeding groups. I would ideally want each section to have access to a run outside. I...

This is my first hatch from my new bielefelder breeding flock. These are my first autosexing chicks so I just want to confirm that I am seeing things right. I am seeing 3 girls and 3 boys? (2 of the photos only has 5 of the chicks which I see 2 girls and 3 boys?) Thanks!
