    Possible Shock after Attack

    Thank you, and thank you for your help! The oldest chickens in the flock are approximately 2 months old. The hen was one of those two month old's. I think this is how I will approach it from now on. Typically I had allowed 3-4 days of exposure with the see don't touch method before...

    Help determining Pullets or Cockerels?

    Hi Folks! I could use some help making sure I have the right genders assigned here. I believe all of the chickens I am going to post pictures of are Cockerels, but I want to be certain. Our county has an ordinance to prevent us from having any so I'll need to rehome these little guys but I...
