Do I gotta Roo?
Is Big Mama actually Big Papa?? I caught vid of her trying to crow this morning. Looked rather cute since no sound came out. What do you all think?? Edit for add: I just read she may not be trying to crow but adjusting her crop. ? The video I have unfortunately says it’s too large to upload...- SimplyShayely

3 month old pullets behavior
Thank you for the welcome! Ok so they definitely are eating (a lot!), drinking (a lot!) and pooping (seriously a lot!)! And it’s just the 10 of them. Again, they are just 2-3 months, but I have recently noticed some pecking order being established. That’s not a fun thing to watch. Big Mama can...- SimplyShayely

Free-ranging intro help!
They have two chicken runs/pens to choose from with two different exits in their coop. They’ve come and gone between each run and will always travel between the two runs together. I’ve read that introducing them to the free range an hour or two before dusk/bedtime works. ???- SimplyShayely

Free-ranging intro help!
Just got 10 pullets, aged 2-3 months. They’re slowly adjusting to their new home and me. I want them to free range however I don’t know (1) when to introduce them to the great wide open and (2) how to ensure they all come back to the coop. My lot is just over an acre and is only partially...- SimplyShayely
