    Hang a baby chick by its legs to sex?

    I read it on the facebook page that you can tell the gender of a chick if you hold it upside down for a few seconds. If it just hangs there with little to no fight, it's a Male, if it freaks the hell out the whole time, it's a female. This seems mean to me. Is there any truth to it?

    New to chicken raising. Hello

    Well we will have to wait and see how many total roosters there are. Here are some pics of the red/domonique mixes. I think all 4 photos are all different birds. The other 2 were not at all in the mood for pics today.

    Well.... that puts me at 4 roosters now and only 3 hens from the batch I got from the store. Not at all the ratio I was hoping for .

    Baby chick will not feather out????

    Well...that's not really what I was hoping to hear. I always thought and I have heard you really dont want a large number of roosters. With the Millie being a rooster, I'm up to 3 now out of 13 birds.

    We live on a hill that is made up of sand, very fine sand, the flock just loves free ranging and rolling around in the sand. And they go nuts when I pour out old water on the ground, not a lot, maybe 8 oz, but they just love it.

    We are using starter grower from atwoods mixed with cracked corn. They also free range for about an hour a day. We dont let them run around too much outside the coop because of their size. We have a pair of hawks that lives close.
