    Hen or Roo?

    Unless something got mixed up at tractor supply….I guess I’ll keep on eye out to see how big it gets.

    Hen or Roo?

    The chicks in question are the two white chicks- I got them at tractor supply, I forgot which breed, but they are not leghorns. They are about 3-4 weeks old. The one is so much bigger than the other that I am concerned it is a roo. A friend of mine got the same ones and she has one slightly...

    Thank you, I was wondering about RIR because at tractor supply there was that breed as well. 😬

    About 3 Weeks Old Buff Orpingtons- different color is Roo?

    I got these at tractor supply along with other chicks. These were supposed to be two buff orpingtons, however, I have noticed the one is getting darker wing feathers with some other dark feathers throughout. Also, the tail seems to be shorter, so is that one a roo?

    Out of these three chicks I wonder if two are roosters. The black and white is not a barred rock, the rooster it came from was something that looked similar with feathers going down his legs. The white one is from a leghorn.

    Butchering about 8 hours after last feeding

    I understand- one of the chickens I got from the farm store is obviously a meat chicken (and a roo besides) and the other is also a roo. These are two chicks that were supposed to be sexed, and no on in my area needs/wants roosters so the best thing is to feed my family with them. :)

    Butchering about 8 hours after last feeding

    I decided to butcher a couple of younger roosters today, however, they did get some feed in this morning before I made my decision. Is it best to wait until tomorrow, or is their digestive tract likely cleaned out enough to butcher later today? I am a doing this for the first time, so any...
