    DIE FLIES DIE!!!!!

    Hey everyone! I live in northern Louisiana and the flies are horrid! We live on plenty of land and our girls free range most of the day but the flies swarm their coops/pens! I need some opinions on how to rid these little pests! I've heard of the vanilla scent hangers and water bags. How well do...

    Roosters or Hens?

    I know! That's what I just told my husband! I've grown attached so eating is a no go :/ we will probably get rid of them or trade them for some hens from the lady we originally got them from. Straight run = epic fail!

    Roosters or Hens?

    Riiiiiight! Oh my lanta! What in the world am I suppose to do with all of them? The Orpington roosters are 24/7 free range! We will have guineas in approx 2 was that will be free ranging as well! We have plenty of outdoor space. We live in the country. I just didn't think you could have that...

    Roosters or Hens?

    The first picture I posted was when we first got them. The 2nd picture with lower quality was taken about 1-2 weeks ago. That's how "he" ? LOL looks now. There are 7 chickens in a 10x10 coop but they free range almost all day! I hardly ever see any fussing or plucking amongst the group. Matter...

    Is my pullet a full blood Orpington???

    Yeah now that I noticed the black in the feathers she obviously isn't. But I do think she has some in her blood! Thanks again for your reply!

    Roosters or Hens?

    They could be as young as 3 months but definitely no younger. I don't think they are rumpless. This straight run group has definitely turned out to be more testosterone than planned! They all get a long great (for now) and we even have 2 ducks who stay in the coop with them. We also let them...

    Roosters or Hens?

    They are probably 4-5 months old tops! Here are some more pictures! I'm not familiar with all the "breed" names yet so forgive me for being kinda clueless! I'm going to number them and you kind chicken lovers can tell me your thoughts. :D #1 (white/black) pullet or cockerel? Breed? #2...

    Roosters or Hens?

    I was thinking the black/white and black/brown were hens :/

    Roosters or Hens?

    Holy Moly!!! You think they are all roosters except for the Buff Orpington mix? I know she isn't full blood. She has a touch of black in her back feathers.

    Is my pullet a full blood Orpington???

    I wasn't even paying attention! I could have answered my own question. She does have a touch of black on the tail feathers only! Hahaha That's ok, I don't mind her being a mix breed as we are using our chickens mainly for pets and eggs! We do have some full blooded Orps if we change our mind ;)...

    Roosters or Hens?

    I need help yet again. As someone new to chickens and buying a batch of straight runs I'm not sure if we ended up with more roosters than planned! The lady we bought from thought the black one was probably bogging to be a rooster but I'm questioning the brown/white one as well... What do you...

    Is my pullet a full blood Orpington???

    We recently got our first flock of straight run chickens and I was curious if you fellow Buff lovers could tell if our girl Honey is a full blood Orpington. We have 3 buff hens and 2 roosters that are mature so I'm not sure what to look for in the pullets.
