I bought 6 pullets and all are growing fine and are all the exact same age except for one chicken already has a comb. It doesn't act different than any of the others but I wanted to know if anyone could tell if it was a rooster?
I have 3 white ones, at one a time had 4 but my dog got overly excited with one. Great addition to the coop. Eggs are almost always there when I come to collect. These guys are survivors through and through, even during one of our worst winters our ladies hunkered down and endured. Even in times...
Thanks for the article. We've had a sudden influx of warm weather here so perhaps it was enough to cause her stress. Our farm is pretty quite so not a ton happening. Now as far at the egg eater... We'll have to wait and see if she strikes again. None of the other eggs were harmed, so it's very odd.

Sorry about your flock!!

I have two week old chicks from TSC and I was womdering what I could do to help make the transition to outside easier for them. I know to wait until the feather out but I want to start exposing them. My chicks seem to look at nature like it's a scary. Of course I understand they're babies and...
