I am just getting started and not comfortable trying to raise baby chicks. I have a bantam Old English rooster in one run with 2 OE hens and 5 standard size and Silkies are in the other with a rooster Does anyone have some 4 month or older standard pullets for sale? I am afraid of big roosters.
I would suggest you acquire some exhibition quality large fowl Orpington or Cochin chicks or hatching eggs. By the time you have spoiled the chicks and they have grown into huge giant roosters, they will be so attached to you and you to them, you would not be afraid.
