Boys or girls?
I'm new to all this, is it normal for some roosters to appear less genetically dominate regarding their comb size and color. I was hoping it meant the smaller ones were girls regardless. Bummer.- katychick

RIR Roos or Hens
The top one we pretty much know is a boy. The RIR one on the bottom middle has no comb to speak of so we think that is a girl. The 2 RIR on the left and right are identical w/ a medium light orange comb. It was really hard to get their pictures.- katychick

The one with the bigger redder comb is definitely a boy, he crows every morning. However, not sure about his friend, she has a little but smaller lighter comb and does not crow. Could she be a girl?- katychick

RIR Roos or Hens
We obviously have one girl and one boy but the other 2 are a mystery to us. The mystery 2 chicken's combs are smaller and less red then the 1 obvious roo but significantly larger then the the little girl. What do you think?- katychick

Free range feed vs. pellets
So do you think I should keep them in their run longer in the morning where it is mostly sand and they would be forced to eat their pellet feed for awhile before letting them out to forage?- katychick

Free range feed vs. pellets
We have started letting our 11 week old chickens free range for about 11 hours a day. In addition to throwing out the occasions fruit and vegetable scrapes they forage around our yard and garden constantly while eating very little if their pellets. Will this be a bad combination for good...- katychick
