Wow, you did have a long day! Liberty Chick. I was just wondering how long you have had your Roo? How old is he? Also when you pick up your Pullets do they scream and squawk? If they do, he is just doing his job to the best of his ability. Have you maybe tried to seperate him from the girls for...

Quote: He sounds like he is overly protective of his girls. I have not found any tried and true way. There are some good post on BYC about ways to "tame" an aggressive roo. Also you could try a search on the net. I personally just chase any that show aggressive behavior as soon as it starts...

Quote: I saw her on the SQ SS thread, glad I could see her again, she beautiful!!

Quote: yes it gets really red on the girls when they are close to laying eggs. thats what makes me think it is sweetpea or percy though their comb are small yet but really red. It seems the combs are redder on my chicks too. Should I start feeding the layer pellets? I just got them today...

Quote: just started them today when I found the first egg. I generally wait till they lay their first egg then start with the layer pellets but because I have them in with the big girls I just put the starter/grower in a seperate bowl for the younger ones and they eat mostly that though Im...

Quote: How old are the chickies when you start to give them Laying pellets? Mine are now 14 weeks old and are on the grower pellets. just started them today when I found the first egg. I generally wait till they lay their first egg then start with the layer pellets but because I have them in...

went out and checked for eggs this evening and one of my 16 week old SS girls laid her first egg. it was super tiny though!!

Quote: Good luck to ya!

Heres my newest SS girls! Thanks for looking Sandy Oops forgot to mention they are about 11 weeks old. also they are just starting to pink up but no wattles to speak of.

I don't know but they look like they could be Mixed colored Sussex? All my girls looked like the darkest one at that age. but hopefully someone else will confirm or have a better explaination for ya!
