My partridge plymouth rocks are 26 weeks, have bright red combs, make a lot of noise, and I saw 1 squatting the other day. Still no eggs.

Just wanted to say "yay Rosie". I've been reading your story and what a saga. So glad for the happy ending too.

I'm new to this too. But here's what I experienced with my little ones which are now 22 weeks old. At around 6-8 weeks one of the girls (?) started getting a comb that was bigger then the others (that little thing on the top of their head). It also started developing different looking feathers...

My pullets will are 20 weeks old and haven't started laying yet. But today, one was singing away. Can this mean that they are getting ready to lay or is she just pretending to be a rooster?

How old are they? Mine are 19weeks and I can't wait. Congratulations too!

Yes to the treat idea. Mine are 14 weeks and they come running when they see me coming with their favorite treats. They happen to love squash and watermelon right now.

I just saw this post. My Petey boy started a funny croak/crow when he was 8 weeks old. Now at 13 weeks he can almost cock a doodle do, but he still sounds hoarse. Very cute and sweet right now.

He sounds great and I hope my little Petey turns out just like him.

Hi there in Idaho. My Petey is a Partridge Plymouth Rock.

Well here is Petey at 8 weeks with his favorite girl. Not a hen at all. I didn't want a rooster and now I'm totally in love.

Yes it is really hot. And I think they will love the misters. Good luck to you.

I did forget the weeks part in their age. Oops.

Thanks. They have shade and plenty of water. I live in the Valley outside of Los Angeles and it's not humid not now, it's actually pretty dry. They have dirt to bathe in too. But thanks for all the tips and I'll look into getting a fan for them. I hadn't thought of that.

It's over 100 degrees. Is it okay to put a mister on the little ones for a bit during this heat wave?

Thanks for the uploading tips and confirming that I indeed have a boy. Welcome Petey!

This is a shot of 2 of them together. The one on the left looks like the others. The one on the right is the one I think may be male. It's got much darker feathers too.

Here is another image. Sorry, I'm new to the forum and am just learning how to post images. These are partridge plymouth rocks and they are 6 1/2 weeks old. This is the only one with a pronounced comb.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any natural remedy for getting rid of flies. Aside from cleaning the poop regularly, what other means do I have short of something toxic?
