Thanks for all the quick responses! Wish I knew what the mix was. Her disposition is great! She is probably the friendliest chicken ive ever had

Trying to determine the breed of this hen. She was brought into my job by someone that found her so naturally I took her home!

I can't get the pictures to load

The coop 6x4x7. I have 11 chickens and 3 ducks. Everything I've read says it should be enough space. 2 of the hens spent a couple weeks with the ducks as chicks in the broader before they got separated. And no free ranging, don't trust my dogs enough.

Ooo I hadn't thought of that!I'll give that a shot

That's what I was thinking. I just didn't want to force them in every night for the next few weeks if I didn't have to. The chickens arnt bad but the ducks are hard to catch. Lol thanks for the help!

Relatively recently i picked up 3 ducks. The ducks refuse to sleep in the chicken coop and instead sleep in their pool. Recently 3 of my hens took to sleeping next to the pool with the ducks. This was fine because the run is secure but now winter is approaching. Will the chickens return to the...

Good to finally know. Thanks for the help!

Another with all the hens he came with, suppose to all be the same

Oh, and his skin is white

His legs are fully feathered and he has a lot on his feet too. I don't think he is new Hampshire because of his leg feathers. The hen in the picture is the same mystery breed.

Got him almost a year ago when a family member passed but noone is sure of the breed.

I have cochin cockerel about 10 months old that needs a new home. He is not aggressive but is a little rough on the ladies. Only getting rid if him because i have too many roosters for how many hens i have.

That's about what I was thinking. I'm still pretty new to chickens though so I wanted to make sure he wasn't gonna stay this...spunky. The head rooster gets after him for it, but it doesn't slow him down for long.

I have a 6 month old polish cockerel, he is very rough with the hens and almost constantly after them. Is this something that will ease off as he gets older or can I expect him to always be very rough with them?
