    Welsummer vs whiting true green

    I will get some pictures up shortly. The true greens are also chipmunks with yellow legs so thats our problem. We either have 3 true greens and 1 welsummer, or 2 true greens and 2 welsummers. One passed in the first day and we dont know which it was.

    Welsummer vs whiting true green

    We ordered some whiting true greens and welsummers and made the mistake of not having them marked by the hatchery. They basically all look the same and we need to try and figure out who is who. Are there any distinguishing features we could look for? They are 4 weeks old now.

    Coop/Run introduction of 4 and 10 week olds

    They will be coming from different farms, so the quarantine will probably be good. Should we partition of the coop for at night? We have multiple doors on the coop so we can let some in the ramp and the others in the side. I can separate them in the run easily. My girlfriend already has a full...
