Are you sure he is a rooster? I'm thinking hen. I couldn't see any saddle feathers.

Ok what just happened :ep That is more than twice the size of the eggs I've been getting. Can you say ouch!

I had another pullet lay today! That's a total of three out of six that are laying. They are almost 26 weeks. They sure take their slow time. This one is speckled. Does that mean anything?

It finally happened My girls are 23 weeks old. I thought it would never happen.:ya

One of my 22 week old girls has started to sit in a nest. Not the ones I made for them, but the one I made for the ducks. That doesn't matter, I'm just excited to see one in a nest. Fingers crossed there will be an egg SOON!

I think you should keep them all.... But I'm pretty new at this. Are you looking for show birds?

Yes, I'm looking for the best personality. I have one that will just grab the back of a pullet's head and hold her. I'm thinking its a submission hold, however not sure. She will squawk and he will let go after a few seconds. He never tries to get on them and he never pulls any feathers out. Is...

Ok I need some advice. I have 5 male birds and I only want to keep 1. What type of behavior should I be looking for so I'm keeping a good one? I don't want my ignorance to lead me to put a good one in the freezer! That are 18 weeks old, so the time is near. Any advice would be great since in...

Thanks for info. That's good to know, I will try to change my frame of reference. Old habits are hard to break.:he

They are 13 weeks. Well sounds like I will have a few to choose from, to hopefully get a GOOD Roo.

Here is one more that might be a little better. What exactly should I be looking for? Is it just the red face? Some have a lot, some have none, and some have a little.

I hope not. I would at least like 4 hens. These birds are so hard to tell what sex they are. One day I think I have it figured out and the next not so much.:hu

How many roosters do you see?

I was watching my chicks today, like I do everyday.:love. I noticed that 2 of the roosters were starting to practice their crows! No sound came out, but they keep going through the motions:lol:. They are only 11 weeks old, isn't that a little early?

Here's some pictures of mine. I think I have 4 maybe 5 hens and the rest are roosters.:(

My chicks think they are ducks! I have 12 brahma chicks and 2 rouen ducklings that are 9 weeks old. I have alway kept them together and they share a coop now. It has been raining here for the past 2 days and the chicks will not go in the coop at all. I'm assuming it because the duck want to stay...

I also got a dozen from TS that are 6 weeks old now. Mine looked the same as yours, some were light and some were dark. Now that they have feathers they look pretty much the same. I can't tell which ones were the darker ones.

I have 12 5 week old chicks that have been locked in the coop for 2weeks. This past week I have been letting them out in a fenced in area, and they are able to go in and out of the coop as they please and they do. However every night I have to chase them down and put them in. When will they...

Ok I am very new to raising chickens and I have a breeding question. I bought 12 chicks from TS. Is it ok to breed them with each other? I didn't know if I should get a roo from a different source so they wouldn't be related. Sorry if that is a stupid question I'm really new at this. The only...

That's great thanks! I was wondering about the tail feathers, some have nice long feathers and other ones have really none at all. Now I'm gonna have to go count and see what I have of each.
