Wow!! I have SO much to learn. I've been so focused on diet & keeping them safe. And the Internet, although full of information, isn't always clear. Thank you!!
Well it's tempting but I don't have another silkie that's frmale. The other girls are reds, sexlinks, buffs & hopefully barred rocks (got them with the silkies so I'm not sure yet if they're male/female)
Thank you all for the support & information!
And that's exactly what I'm feeling most frustrated about - they were sold to us AS HENS. So....we were lied to. :/ not cool.
Thank you for the help! It's most appreciated!
Thank you. I suppose I feel on edge since everyone else finds it ammusing that I didn't know they were roosters.....I didn't know! And I want to learn, and I can't keep them. I feel alone & helpless about this right now, looking for answers and hopefully a new home for them before my neighbors...
I'm here to learn, and ask these questions. Just like everyone else! To use phrases like "how can you tell when their in the egg" tends to give a sense of snippy. I'm not taking any anger out on anyone, just trying to find out answers. I'd appreciate answers - not pins or tones.
Thank you! I have concerns as well about the 2 barred rocks we got the same day. Now...why nobody said these are male is beyond me. And very upsetting when raising them for eggs :/
How do you tell male from female?
Thank you for your reply! I will find the re homing section.
How do you tell? And....what should I do? Can 2 Roos exist in the same coop? I have 11 chickens total....and if these 2 are male.... Yikes. I was told they were female!
Anyone want them?
