    Lethargic and panting even when its not hot

    So I have a male brahma who is usually pretty talkative and energetic, but now is hanging around the coop and seems to be keeping a distance from the rest of the flock. He's panting all the time, even though it's a reasonable 60°F, but it doesn't sound raspy or out of the ordinary to me. His...

    So I have 14 unsexed buff brahmas and they're about a month old. Any ideas on how to tell their sex?

    How big of a coop do buff brahmas need?

    That's nice of your neighbor. I'll likely use scrap pallets to make a coop for myself- previous owners of the property had a large metal frame with tarp on it they wanted to turn into a mini greenhouse that I might use as the frame.

    How big of a coop do buff brahmas need?

    A perfectly 8x8 coop sounds great. We will likely butcher whatever excess roosters we have and replace some of them with hens once everything's figured out and they're big enough for meat
