    Need a little help

    I am completely new to chickens, but from my reading I understand that Roos' wing feathers don't develop as quickly as the hens. If they are growing like the others, you could still be alright. I can't see the wings very well in the pics, but one of my hens has a giant comb.

    Sand....HARBINGER OF DOOM???

    Quote: I just found this out today. I removed the divider between the little chicks and the bigger chicks in the brooder and put in a stick for a roost. 14 chicks were on one side and 1 little bitty rooster was on the other and none of them would "cross" to the other side. They really didn't...

    Addicted to Chicks...

    Hi! My name is Christine, and I'm a school teacher who wanted to take on a summer project. So... Why not get chicks? We live in a 100+ year old farmhouse out in the country, so we need to finally put some real farm animals on it: Our first four girls are now about 3 weeks old (boy do they...
