    26 weeks?!?!

    My partridge plymouth rocks are 26 weeks, have bright red combs, make a lot of noise, and I saw 1 squatting the other day. Still no eggs.

    egg is stuck inside skin and is hanging on the hens bottom

    Just wanted to say "yay Rosie". I've been reading your story and what a saga. So glad for the happy ending too.

    Sleepy chick and possible male? Please help a newbie.

    I'm new to this too. But here's what I experienced with my little ones which are now 22 weeks old. At around 6-8 weeks one of the girls (?) started getting a comb that was bigger then the others (that little thing on the top of their head). It also started developing different looking feathers...

    Hen song

    My pullets will are 20 weeks old and haven't started laying yet. But today, one was singing away. Can this mean that they are getting ready to lay or is she just pretending to be a rooster?

    A big day in the Burns household...

    Beginning Free Ranging

    Yes to the treat idea. Mine are 14 weeks and they come running when they see me coming with their favorite treats. They happen to love squash and watermelon right now.

    When will my rooster begin to crow?

    I just saw this post. My Petey boy started a funny croak/crow when he was 8 weeks old. Now at 13 weeks he can almost cock a doodle do, but he still sounds hoarse. Very cute and sweet right now.

    He sounds great and I hope my little Petey turns out just like him.

    My hen/rooster and his ladies

    Well here is Petey at 8 weeks with his favorite girl. Not a hen at all. I didn't want a rooster and now I'm totally in love.

    Mister okay for 6 1/2 chicks-it's hot hot hot here

    Yes it is really hot. And I think they will love the misters. Good luck to you.

    I did forget the weeks part in their age. Oops.

    Thanks. They have shade and plenty of water. I live in the Valley outside of Los Angeles and it's not humid not now, it's actually pretty dry. They have dirt to bathe in too. But thanks for all the tips and I'll look into getting a fan for them. I hadn't thought of that.

    It's over 100 degrees. Is it okay to put a mister on the little ones for a bit during this heat wave?
