    Should I take in my friend's aggressive birds?

    I have an established flock of mixed breeds (14 total: 2 leghorns, 2 barred rock, 1 wyandotte, 4 americaunas, 2 buffs, 1 black star, 2 buckeyes). I have a pretty large run (about 350 sq ft) and all my chickens get along great. My friend recently got a chicken tractor-type coop with an attached...

    Roos or hens?

    Darnit. How come my prettiest birds are always boys? LOL....dang Mother Nature. I had this happen 2 years ago but I got that batch at 5 weeks old and never got that attached. I raised this batch from day-old chicks and will be sad to see them go (we live in the city limits). Darn, darn, darn...

    These two 16-week-old "ladies" were making an awfully loud ruckus at 4:45 this morning. I think I already know the answer but can anyone confirm that they are roos? Thanks a million!

    Help with breed ID on my new girls?

    Hi there - I think I've got 2 Buff Orpingtons and a Leghorn, but I'm not sure about the black one. And really hoping none are boys this time!

    Thank you for the info, Rachel. They ARE handsome, aren't they? We will be sad to see them go. Now I get to go have an unpleasant conversation with my 5-year-old...

    Help - Is this a rooster?

    Yes, they both have that iridescent green in their tails and pointy neck feathers. And 3 rows of peas in the comb. And crowing. That's some pretty strong evidence, I suppose! Thank you very much for responding!

    Here are a few more pictures. The brown one is the other suspect.

    Help - Is this a rooster?

    This is my first time raising chickens. I have two that started crowing this week (at about 4 1/2 months of age). The other four are significantly smaller and have different markings on their faces. Nobody is laying eggs yet, and I'm reading that sometimes hens crow if there's no rooster in the...
