I ordered some meat birds from a hatchery. They included 10 pullets. I recieved 2 of these birds. 1 is bigger than the other. Both have the same color markings, both have a black mohawk on top of their heads.
I make frozen bottles of water to put in their water tubs. I have (3) 5 gallon waterers and 1 20 gallon water tub the like to stand in to cool down. I also feed frozen veggies and watermelon to my birds.
I bought these chicks as assorted, straight run chicks. So I already know it is a roll of the dice as for roos and pullets, that is not my question. What breed are they? I have had the a week already so they are starting to feather out. Also what are the different ways to sex a chick and how...
My husband last night saw a Bobcat trying to get in their house. He made a noise at it and it looked @ him. He went to get the gun, came back and it was gone. We had a Coyote @ our front gate also. He fired the gun and it ran away.
That is what I have started doing. My husband saw a Bobcat trying to get in their house last night. My rooster had a damage to his wattles on one side and he was kinda limping, I think he will be ok though.
