    Fall chick raising

    I like the posts that keep close to mother nature! If they are too big to fit under their ma, they should be fine alone. I put some 7wk olds out last week I checked on them all the time. They got real happy real fast. Leaping & playing. I have good henhouse w/plenty of hay around. Another...

    Yes they can be sweet. I just would never have a RIR roo. Once they decide to get you, they never stop. We went thru having bats, shovels, rakes at every tree in our yard. It got impossible to go out. I am glad he is good to you, somebodies got to love em'. lol

    what sex?

    Thank you Louisiana! I have 2 Black Orpingtons, 1 Splash Orpington (creamish white w/black tips). The light one has almost no comb. Maybe I just have to wait longer to tell. :-/

    what sex?

    Hello, soooo, is it the tail feathers you go by? Just that? My 3 are Orpingtons, feathers in back are fluffy and not sprouting upward. One of them has tailfeathers that kinda go up, not like other 2. Mine are 4mos also. Thank you!

    what sex?

    I am hoping someone has an answer for you. I am in the same boat. I am getting better, but I never feel quite sure. Good luck w/your feathers, they can be so wonderful. The very bad part is when something gets them, or they just die. GOOD LUCK
