    Out to the coop

    It looks great. We have replaced our chicken mesh as we lost all our chickens to pythons and goannas. We have very hard aviary wire mesh on our coop now. The fenced yard is just normal fencing but the coop is covered in the aviary wire to keep them safe at night.

    Our chicken palace

    Rooster or hen?

    Hello, I have two australorp x sussex chickens (8wks) and am getting concerned they are going to be roosters. They are starting to 'play fight' each other, although we have noticed others doing the same chest-bumping behaviour...(for want of a better description). They are also developing combs...

    Gender ideas?

    We are on acreage out of town and don't have a rooster at this stage... However I have 2 australorp x sussex that I'm a bit suspicious are roosters.

    Gender ideas?

    I have just adopted 3 frizzle x silkies and know s/he is still young (12wks) but I'm thinking this one might be a roo? I'll try to get a better pic of his little face :) Any informed guesses would be appreciated. Thank you
