    Pick it up by the lower back of the neck. If it struggles with you possible Roo. If it goes limp right - a - way possible pullet. Don't know the odds of being right but has worked for me "a lot of times"

    Why do you guys give your chickens apple cider vinegar?

    Roy Rooster saved me a lot of time. For Chickens 1 TBS per gallon of water. at least once a week. Twice won't hurt For people I mix 2 TBS per gallon of water. Refrigerate and drink a cup or so a day. The main reason you don't see tests on Organics and home remedies is the Pharmaceutical...

    Will broody hen adopt chicks?

    Good advice from everyone. I use Cochins for that very thing. I have a few Cochin Hens that see babies and go right to work, broody or not. Cochins are the best I have found for this.
