    Keeping The Best, Culling The Rest

    This is good to know. We rescue dogs but will never rescue chickens. I like the closed flock idea. Our flock is all new as we have only lived in this place for 2 years. I fuss about everything though, worrying if they're happy, if any diseases are lying in wait. And predators. Always...

    Ok, I'm betting this is a rooster. All photos are same bird. He's the only one (born 3-17) with what looks to be red wattles. Whatcha think? I'd like to have at least one roo among our 24 "pullets".

    Keeping The Best, Culling The Rest

    Think I'm gonna copy and save some of this for future reference as sort of a motivational thing. Too often I get attached to one sweet bird or another but the need is for eggs and meat, some breeding. Keeping pet chickens is not affordable for us at this point in our lives. (Of course I say...

    Golden Comet Chickens, HELP!

    Glad I only bought 6 GC's. I learn so much from all you folks on here. You're awesome. Goldens 7 weeks old. Heavy birds!

    Plymouth Rock thread!

    * Note: I mean I cover their little faces with a hand against my tummy, gently of course. Sorry for the confusion.

    Plymouth Rock thread!

    If I'm needing or wanting to pick up one of the young chicks I tuck their faces under my arm or I cover them with a hand against my tummy. It quiets them right down.
