    Our 4 new [girls] to replace our roos

    They are six weeks, according to the breeder. And should be Buff Orpington and Ameraucana/EE. Just want to make sure they are looking like girls so we dont go through the 4of6 being roosters thing again. Thanks

    Found a home for the four roosters. Here are the pullets we replaced them with. I will post better pictures tomorrow. Hopefully we dont have any gender issues here.

    We found a forever home for the four roosters. A retiring farmer getting back into breeding chickens with his daughter. He took the 4 roosters on a trade for 2 pullets and I bought 2 more. My son and daughter insisted on like breeds so we got lucky he had some to pick from. I will post better...

    2 Buff Orpington and 2 Ameraucana Roosters need rehoming - Northern IL

    Given the situation with the breeder we got the chicks from originally I decided to look into buying some pullets, found a few potentials on craigslist and thought to try them for new homes for our four roosters. One replied that he knew I was in a pickle and offered to trade the 4 roosters for...
