Thank you to everyone for your help! I appreciate the information, I still have a lot to learn but at least now I can say I have learned something about my flock
#2 Crows all the time, #1 crows but it is not as "clear" as #2. When #1 crows it sounds like a teenager going through their voice change. Both "strut" around and I think it is #2 that I have seen mating with the hens. I will have to watch #1 more to see if I can get any clues from behavior.
Ok, I don't know if any of these pictures will make it any easier but here are more pictures of the two I believe are Roosters. I do not know the age of any of them. The previous home owners told me they were about 3, but as I previously stated they also said there were only 5 or 6 chickens and...
Also, age wise I have no idea if they are the same age. After moving in we couldn't figure out how many chickens there were because they just roam free and it seemed we always had a different number when we fed them. I contacted the previous owner to ask how many chickens there were and was told...
4 and 7 are different birds but look very similar to each other. I feel confident both of those are roosters, but I could be wrong. I have 2 that crow (and I think it is those two) and the birds in pictures 4 & 7 each have a "spur" on their legs that none of the others have.
I would like to ask help identifying the chickens in my flock. I have 8 adults and now 4 chicks. I think I have 6 hens and 2 roosters but I am not sure on one of them as to if it is a hen or not (the one in pictures 3 & 6)

We are working on setting something up for them. The coop seems too small for the number of chickens we have so we were planning on using part of a shed for them. We put the new chicks and momma in the shed last weekend and discovered when it rained yesterday that the shed leaks really bad :( We...
Thank you for the pointers! I will try to get better pictures of them tonight to post in the forum about breed and gender. The learning center is probably where I will be spending a lot of time!
HI! I am new to chickens and forums! I moved onto a farm about a month ago and with the house I also acquired a peacock and some chickens. The chickens are free range. There is a coop on the property but I have not seen them use it, they seem to prefer to go under the porch.
I have no idea on...
