    Help sexing 4 week old Buff Orpington, Barred rock, Ameraucana, and Speckled Sussex

    I was pretty sure he was a male too. His personality is also very different. Is there any hope he could still be a female? I'm not sure when to start looking for a new home... Thanks for your help! The order got slightly messed up when posting. We only have one of each breed I put two pictures...

    Help sexing 4 week old Buff Orpington, Barred rock, Ameraucana, and Speckled Sussex

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Thank you so much for your response! Yeah that’s also what I’m a bit concerned about. I live in North Carolina and I’m getting them the first week of March. I’m planning on building this coop and might do the winterization they recommended closing off one of the wire sides right away depending...

    How big is too big to brood babies outside? Do you need to confine them to a smaller area at first to keep them from getting lost? They will be two days old we are getting them from a local hatchery. Coop would be 8’ by 12’
