    3 roosters too many for 18 hens?

    We do have 1 acre fenced in and they all free range all day. Lots of trees and bushed to hide in. As long as they will share the chicken house, we may be okay. I will hope for the best!

    What breed is this bantam?

    Tootsie Roll was a freebie, given to me at the feed store last March. She is bearded and about 10 weeks old. She is my tiniest bantam. What breed is she?

    3 roosters too many for 18 hens?

    I have 8 full grown laying hens, 10 pullets which are 10 weeks old, and 3 roosters also 10 weeks old. 2 of the roosters are bantam cochins, so only one rooster will be full sized like the hens. Is this too many roosters for he hens? I was hoping with 2 of the three roosters being bantam, that...

    Is my sweet Barred Rock girl actually a roo?

    Thanks for the heads up. I can't have a roo after my kiddos. Hopefully he will stay sweet. Angie

    Is my sweet Barred Rock girl actually a roo?

    I am so sad, but I guess I am blessed he is so sweet. So far I only have 1 laying hen who likes to set, and she is a barred rock. So maybe this will work out? Will I have totally mixed breeds if this is my only rooster in with RIRs, New Hampshire Reds and White Rocks? I am not sure which...

    Is my sweet Barred Rock girl actually a roo?

    My Barred Rock is around 3 months and acts like a rooster (protective, brave, has a large dark comb). No crowing yet. What do you think ? I added one more top view for feather viewing. Angie

    Hen with pale legs and wings droping forward?

    Miss Lydia, Thank you for your warm welcome. I did retreat my hens after 10 days, but I did not retreat the coup. We cleaned it out very thoroughly today and sprayed it with Permectrin II. I absolutely didn't want to use harmful sprays, but I fear my birds will only get worse if this comes...

    Hen with pale legs and wings droping forward?

    I am new here. I have a 2 year old Barred Rock who is showing unusual signs. In the last 2 days, her legs have gone from yellow to a pale pink. Sometimes when she leans forward to eat, her wings collapse forward with her. She is not sneezing or acting sick. She still lays every few days...
