    I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

    I'm not positive (or an expert), but it looks like a pullet to me. No comb or waddles, neck feathers look like they are getting filled in (Roos typically have very thin neck feathers). We have a few hens with high tail feathers like that; the Roos tails will usually start getting really long and...

    I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

    I posted before and asked for help sexing my new flock of 12; 3 Roos were correctly identified, and we got rid of them as they were crowing loudly by 8-10 weeks and we can't have roosters (due to noise).

    Let me know what you guys think of my new coop!

    I just joined tonight, after lurking and using this site for advice for a long time, but thought I could share some pictures of our new coop.

    I've come here many times to check out information, lurk and look at other peoples chickens, find advice, etc., but finally decided I should post up! My wife and I have raised urban chickens now since 2007, we started out with a small flock of 3 "second hand" hens from my Aunt to see how we...
