    Gender guesses? 8 weeks old

    Well in that case,if I've got all pullets,should I go get a rooster so they'll be safe to free range? I'm on 1/3 acre with 6 ft high fences. Their coop isn't any safer than the yard really but we do lock them in at night. The run/ coop is right next to the goat pen, will that keep predators...

She seems happy enough,gets plenty of food/water, I never see the others pecking or harassing her but she is so small and looks just awful.
