Hello! These chicks are about 9-10 weeks old. I’m not sure what kind they are but I’m curious if anyone has ideas on gender. The two in question are the ones front and center (the calico looking one and the black/white/grey one).
Thank you!
Thank you both for your replies. I would like to keep her, she’s a sweet girl. I’m going to keep an eye on things and hopefully soon she’ll integrate with the rest of the flock.
Yesterday, I had two grey foxes attack my chickens while they were loose. I had 4- 9 week old pullets, the foxes got two and the third is missing. One pullet survived. I also have 4- 3 year old hens. The hens have been picking on the lone pullet. She’s now hanging out by herself all the time...
Aw darn. I was having some feather picking issues when I didn’t have the extra roost in the run, so I’m concerned about removing them. I wonder if I were to remove just the higher level roost if that would help the situation.
That’s a good idea. I do only have one 8ft long roost in the coop so there’s room to put in dividers. I have considered making a second roost as well. I noticed you have a tree branch as one of your roost. Do you think they enjoy that one better then the 2x4?
