    What breed are these? Maybe Brahma mix?

    Thanks the white one is completely white with no other coloring at all but they aren't fully grown yet so we will see but she will definitely be really pretty if she does end up being completely white.

    bird netting versus fishing line for calm chickens?

    I agree if your worried about the stress they get from it and don't want your egg production to be affected I would just put a solid roof on it to make them happy. Good luck

    A question on coop space with an enclosed/secure run.

    Hello everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful day. I just bought 3 pullets and 1 Cockerel from a flea market vendor and he wasn't sure exactly what breed they were. I am trying to find out there age and breed. Here are some pictures of them if you need better/specific ones let me know.

    How Many Hens per Rooster

    Hello, I just got 3 pullets and 1 cockerel. I'm pretty sure they are Brahmas due to their extreme leg feathers, they may also be bantum I'm not sure. I was wondering if that was going to be a problem with only 3 hens and if they may be an overly aggressive breed. Thank you for any feedback.
