    Chicken has been crowing non-stop! Terrible news.

    I started the Chicken Adventure in October of last year. I purchased 5 pullets from a gentleman that said I was getting 5 hens (4 Doms and 1 RIR). I asked him how he could tell they were all hens. He said, "Ive been raising chickens for 30 years and Iknow how to tell a hen from a rooster." I...
