    Just in case anyone comes across this post, I wanted to give an update. Number 2 (Now named Spicy) ended up the only rooster. The rest are his beloved ladies!

    How to introduce a new group, baby cockerels, and… how do I proceed?!

    Hi everyone! So, a little background. I’m a new chicken owner, and of course, am in over my head due to some chicken math. I got my first set of chickens from TSC in March. 6 big girls and 2 bantams. They are in a pretty solid flock, I’d say. They do everything together and have a pecking...

    Thank you! They aren’t perfect form or anything, but I think they are perfect for us. And they all have turned out to be so sweet.

    Hi!

    Hi!

    Mostly, when will these dang chickens actually start laying eggs? How dangerous for my bantams will it be to keep a Roo (out of my chicks)? What the heck gender are my chicks?

    Anyone want to help me with some chicks? Just some educated guesses would be good, not expecting to be 100% certain, of course. They were hatched on June 30th, and I took these pics on August 4th, so exactly 5 weeks. They are supposed to be Jubilee Orpingtons, but the woman who gave them to us...

    Hi!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We got our first batch of chickens in March from TSC. So, we’re still new at it, but having a lot of fun. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 13. We got the first six from TSC, and then someone gave us a batch of eggs...
