    Training them to roost

    I had to have a giggle at some of the posts brings back memories. We moved our 20 8 wk old chicks to their new house with run attached at 8 weeks old. Kept them in that area for about 1 week before I let them out to free range so they could get use to it. I had to go down each night for a week...

    Australorp Roosters- are they agressive?

    We have a 21 week old roo. Fathered by a RIR and mother was an Australorp. He started mounting the other hens 2 weeks ago and he shares the yard with the 4 yr old RIR. We have had no problems so far.

    My 25 RIR 8 days old now Pics included

    They are just soooo sweet. Can you keep us posted on what they look like as they grow. We have a RIR rooster and some brown hens as well as Australorps and the chicks that have hatched look just like yours. Just wondering if the mother hen is RIR or part so the comparison would be interesting.

Mothers go into a debrooder shed and are looked after very well to gain their strength back for 5 days then put back...
