    Killer chickens?

    Guys, thanks for all of your input. I immediately removed the roosters from the coop. And it's been a month or so. No more losses!! This coop was left at the house when we moved in so I will need to measure it to be sure. I can't say for sure it was the roos, but ever since I removed them I have...

    Killer chickens?

    Woke up this morning to find our "free rare chick" (a Cochin) dead. "Fuzzy Feet", as my wife named him/her, was one of our favorites.

    White Leghorn?

    Hey Guys! First off, I have appreicated all of the information I've received from this site! I received some extra checks from my order at Murray McMurray. I'm not exactly sure what they are though. I am relatively new to chickens and thought they were white leghorns but some are starting to...
