Do you have any calls available to ship this year?

I bought pullets. Ugh!!

Darn! Thanks everyone.

I bought 6 light brahma pullets (or so I thought). I'm thinking that I got 3 Roos. The Brahmas are tough for me to determine but these 3 have much more red in their face and I believe saddle feathers. What are your thoughts? They are 15 weeks.

I thought that I would give an update from my previous post. The brahma pullets are now about 14 weeks old and the transition seems to be going better. I added more hiding places in the run which they seem to be using to their advantage. There's definitely a lot of pecking going on but nothing...

Thank you!

Im not sure if my rooster is a BR or a Black sex link. I don't really know how to tell the difference.

I haven't tried to free range all of them. I'm nervous to do that since the older have never free ranged. My coop is 15ftx15ft and the run is 25ftx25ft. I do not have perch space in the run but do have logs, branches for hiding, pallets to hide under. The coop itself has 3 rows of perching bars...

Unfortunately, only the 6 younger are Brahmas. The 11 older are mixes (BR, RIR, and White Leghorns) which are all pretty aggressive breeds. I think that is a lot of the issue also. If worse comes to worse, I will just free range the Brahmas and not mix them with the others.

Thanks for all the comments. Unfortunately, things did not settle down one of my chicks started to bleed with a big peck. I have since put them back in their little coop for a few more weeks. I still think they're too small compared to my big girls. I am going to add some more hiding spots in my...

My 11 hens don't free range since we have a large coop/run. I was letting the 6 pullets free range since they're getting bigger and I didn't want to keep them in a small coop all day long. I was hoping to keep all 17 in the big coop/run. I'm not sure that I feel comfortable letting them all free...

I am having a lot of trouble integrating 6 12 week brahma pullets into my flock of 11 (17 week) hens. The hens are being brutal. The brahma pullets are just slightly smaller than the rest of the flock but they are being chased/pecked constantly. I had the pullets in a smaller coop outside the...
