    Chicken sex question

    Thanks! So if I put any eggs my hens lay directly into the refrigerator after I collect them, there will be no obvious indication that they have been fertilized? I grew up with Balut (cooked fertilized bird eggs) so it sounds like I was misled to believe that any fertilized egg is obvious when...

    Chicken sex question

    I just don't want fertilized eggs when my hens start laying. I don't know when chickens become mature and fertilized eggs become a concern. Fertilized eggs turn into Chicks which I am trying to avoid. I am in the process of rehoming the rooster because I am not supposed to have roosters in the...

    Chicken sex question

    Sorry I am really new at this all so I don't know if this is the correct section to ask but at what age do you need to separate roosters from hens to be sure you don't get fertilized eggs? My hens are about 11 weeks now and not laying yet but I want to be sure that the rooster (that I am in the...

    Apocalypse Chicken Flock Adventures

    I have been having fun watching my chickens grow. I just did the math and they are nearly 3 months old already!! They all have their own personalities and make me laugh every day. Except for when they choose to eat my veggie garden even though they have a backyard with tons of plants and dirt...

    SC 11 week old Barred Rock Rooster

    Barred Rock Sexing

    @Abby1116 They definitely have grown and definitely look different from one another! Here's Plague Here's Famine So, probably even better likelihood that Plague is a roo. Happy for anyone to say I am wrong!

    Rooster Concerns

    You make a good point, I expect the market in a few months to be more saturated with not only roosters but also with all the hens that people realised are more work than wanted. Due to all the panic buying of chicks due to COVID and they wont be cute fluffy baby chicks anymore and people wont be...

    "Stocking up on chickens" Covid-19 chat

    @Kafen I don't think I would be able to hatch chicks myself! Also something that might help around here where I live is when I bought my chicks, the store took down my name and address, phone number. He said the state ag department (or some state department) required they send all that info...
